Chicago Mayor dumped

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has failed to even make a run-off election, getting just 17% of the vote. In 2019 she won with 74% of the vote.

She is the only Chicago mayor in 40 years to lose a re-election, and there is little doubt it was because she is so wet and soft on crime. 

Violent offending in Chicago has doubled since 2021. Throughout her term, she has been criticized for her soft-on-crime approach, which has led to massive increases in violence in the city, which is up 52 percent from last year and more than 100 percent from 2021.

Chicago has half the population of NZ, and in 2021 had over 800 homicides. Over 4,000 people were shot.
