CHICAGO (LifeSiteNews) — On Tuesday, pro-abortion and openly homosexual Lori Lightfoot lost re-election for mayor of Chicago.
The far-left Democrat placed third with a significantly lower percentage of votes than her opponents, Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson, who will advance to an April 4 runoff election. Both candidates are members of the Democratic Party and support abortion, claiming it is part of women’s “healthcare.”
Lightfoot emerged from the race with 88,046 votes compared to Johnson’s 104,485 and Vallas’ 173,753. A Chicago mayor has not lost re-election in 40 years.
Throughout her single four-year term, the controversial politician proved to be relentlessly pro-abortion as well as a staunch advocate for the LGBT agenda and the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.
In 2021, Lightfoot’s vaccine mandate led to dozens of school bus drivers quitting their jobs, leaving nearly 1,000 students with disabilities to find alternate transportation. Shortly after, she suspended pay for 21 Chicago police officers who refused to take the shots. A vaccine passport system was also put in place for citizens ages five and older, requiring proof of vaccination to enter most places of public accommodation.
