rdf:langString The 2023 Chicago mayoral election will be held on February 28, 2023, to elect the mayor of Chicago, Illinois. If no candidate receives a majority of votes, a runoff election will be held on April 4, 2023. Incumbent Lori Lightfoot was first elected in 2019, defeating Cook County Board of Commissioners president Toni Preckwinkle in a runoff with 73.7% of the vote. Lightfoot is running for re-election to a second term in office against a wide field of nine challengers that includes members of the Chicago City Council, Illinois House of Representatives, and U.S. House of Representatives. Lightfoot's administration has faced criticism due to rising crime rates in Chicago and accusations of covering up police misconduct. During her first term, she has clashed with members of the Chicago City Council, the Chicago Teachers Union, and Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker's administration. The New York Times remarked that she has an "uncanny ability to make political enemies." However, Lightfoot has received praise for her efforts to build affordable housing, repair dilapidated areas of the city, and raise the minimum wage. The election is officially nonpartisan, with its winner being elected to a four-year term. It is part of the 2023 Chicago elections, which include concurrent elections for City Council, city clerk, and city treasurer.
