2019 Chicago aldermanic election, Southwest Side, 13th ward, Campaign
Krupa ran on a platform of lowering property taxes and increasing police presence in the ward. Krupa walked back comments from 2016, in which he had declared himself to be a, "day one Trump supporter" to a reporter from the Chicago Reader. Krupa received support from 2018 Republican candidate for Illinois governor, Jeanne Ives, who helped fundraise for his campaign.


2019 Chicago aldermanic election, Southwest Side, 13th ward, Campaign
Quinn had originally challenged Krupa's ballot petition. However, Quinn's campaign submitted 2,800 sworn affidavits to the Board of Elections, supposedly from residents that had claimed they never signed Krupa's petitions. This create a problem for Quinn, since Krupa had only filed around 1,700 signatures in his petition, and only 200 of those signatures overlapped with affidavits submitted by Quinn's campaign. This meant that the majority of affidavits submitted by Quinn were either falsified or fraudulent. Quinn later dropped his challenge to Krupa, meaning that Krupa would appear on the ballot. Reports arose that the FBI had opened an investigation into Quinn's affidavits. This incident also brought free publicity to Krupa's candidacy.

2019 Chicago elections, Voter turnout, First round

2019 Chicago elections, Voter turnout, First round

The 35.45% turnout was higher than that of the first round of the 2015 election, but was lower than that of the 2015 runoff. Turnout was lower than in the previous year with an open race for mayor, which was 2011.

The 2019 Chicago mayoral election was the 2019 edition of the quadrennial elections held to determine the Mayor of the City of Chicago, Illinois. The election was held on February 26, 2019.

Not only is Lightfoot the first African-American woman mayor in Chicago's history, but she is also the first openly LGBT person to lead Chicago.

In the first round, Lori Lightfoot placed first and Toni Preckwinkle placed second, securing them both a spot in the runoff election.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, First round
Lightfoot's first-place finish in the first round was regarded to be an upset. She was seen as a long-shot when she first entered the race. In late-January, Lightfoot's support in publicly released polls had only ranged between 2% and 5%. Despite her low poll numbers in January, Lightfoot had persisted in her campaign, performing well in debates and running some ads on television. She won the endorsement of the Chicago Sun-Times.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, First round
She also garnered new personal endorsements, including those of the Scott Waguespack, David Orr, and Robin Kelly, of whom the Chicago Sun-Times' Mark Brown would later write in exploring the contributing factors to Lightfoot's first-round victory, "none of them heavyweights but influential enough to point the way for progressive voters looking for some sign, any sign, of how to pick their way through the thicket of candidates."


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, First round
While Lightfoot rose to  the top of some polls near the end of the race, she had peaked in support so late in the race that none of the other candidates had been focused on running negative ads against her. Lightfoot also was seen as ultimately benefiting from the Burke corruption scandal, as she was running as an "political outsider" on an anti-corruption platform. Preckwinkle's allies had also, accidentally, provided Lightfoot with free media attention on two noteworthy occasions.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, First round
The first incident occurred February 18, when one of Lightfoot's press conferences was crashed by Preckwinkle ally Robert Martwick, with whom Lightfoot got into a heated exchange. The second incident where Preckwinkle's camp generated free headlines for Lightfoot was when, days before the first round of the election, her campaign manager, Scott Cisek, published a Facebook post likening Lightfoot to a Nazi, leading to his firing by the Preckwinkle campaign.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, First round
In Chicago, ethnic/racial coalitions had often played a key role in elections. As such, many of the candidates were seen as targeting different groups with their campaigns. Hispanic candidates Gery Chico and Susana Mendoza were seen as vying for the hispanic vote. Toni Preckwinkle and Willie Wilson were seen as targeting the black vote. Bill Daley was seen as targeting the white vote. Lightfoot was seen as breaking the rules of traditional Chicago politics by not basing her candidacy on seeking the support of particular ethnic/racial groups.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, Runoff
For the runoff, Lightfoot received endorsements from seven of the twelve candidates that had been eliminated in the first round (Gery Chico, Jerry Joyce, John Kozlar, Susana Mendoza, Neal Sales-Griffin, Paul Vallas, and Willie Wilson). Preckwinkle, in contrast, received no endorsements from any candidates that had been eliminated in the first round.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, Runoff
In what was considered a "sweep" of the city's major publications, retaining her endorsement from the Chicago Sun-Times, for the runoff Lightfoot also received the endorsements of the Chicago Tribune and Crain's Chicago Business (both of which had endorsed Bill Daley in the first round).


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, Runoff
In the runoff, Preckwinkle highlighted her depth of government experience and sought to emphasize a contrast with Lightfoot's lack of experience in elected office. Lightfoot criticized Preckwinkle's connections with controversial figures such as Ed Burke and Joseph Berrios.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, Runoff
The two candidates differed on rent control, with Preckwinkle seeking the repeal of a state law prohibiting local governments from imposing rent control, while Lightfoot did not advocate for rent control in Chicago. The candidates differed on prospective term limits, with Preckwinkle opposing them, and Lightfoot advocating limiting both mayoral tenures and City Council committee chairmanships to two terms. Preckwinkle sought to create a ban on aldermen holding outside jobs, while Lightfoot differed, instead preferring to only ban them from holding outside jobs that pose conflicts of interest with official their duties.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Campaign, Runoff
Preckwinkle wanted the power to draw ward maps to remain in the hands of the City Council, while Lightfoot wanted  a nonpartisan and independent process to be created for redistricting. Preckwinkle defended retaining the practice of "aldermanic prerogative", while Lightfoot sought to bring an end to the practice. The candidates also differed on whether they would retain incumbent Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department Eddie T. Johnson, with Preckwinkle having stating that she planned to immediately dismiss Johnson of his post, while Lightfoot stated that she planned to retain him at least through the summer of 2019.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Candidates
In order to be listed on the ballot, candidates were required to submit petitions between November 19 and 26.

Any certified candidate (those whose petitions had been certified by the Board of Elections) may have had their nomination papers challenged up until December 1.

2019 Chicago mayoral election, Candidates
The deadline to file a notarized declaration of intent to be a write–in candidate was December 27, 2018. An exception to the December 27 deadline for write-in candidates to file their declaration of intent existed for circumstances in which a candidate lost their certification after the December 27 deadline due to the outcome of a challenge to their petitions (candidates in this circumstance were granted until February 19 to file a notarized declaration of intent to run as a write-in candidate).


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Candidates
Certified candidates (those whose petitions had been certified by the Board of Elections) were permitted to have their name removed from the ballot if they officially withdrew any time before December 20, 2018. Even if they informally withdrew by ceasing to campaign, all certified candidates that did not file to formally withdraw before the December 20 deadline would have their names listed on the ballot regardless of whether they were still active contenders. However, after December 20 candidates still may have filed to officially withdraw, an action which would have instructed the Board of Elections to deem all votes cast for the candidates as invalid when tallying votes.


2019 Chicago mayoral election, Candidates
