A couple of quick thoughts on this season's Chicago municipal election… I'm not up for judging an election until next year's primaries (I'm a Republican judge in the 46th Ward, 7th Precinct), so I feel like I can speak freely.

(Thread below...) 🧵

Johnson's lead extended to just under 16k lead with 98%+ reporting #brandonjohnson #chicagoelection

Johnson's lead just under 13k with almost 97% reporting. Going to come down to mail in votes, and with Johnson having a larger mail in contingent, he looks pretty good to take this. #brandonjohnson #chicagoelection

Just checked the latest update and it looks like Brandon Johnson doubled his lead over Vallas. It's still close. #chicagomayoralrunoff #ChicagoElection #Chicago

Johnson up over 12k now. #brandonjohnson #chicagoelection

Up even more! #brandonjohnson #chicagoelection

It's a beautiful day to vote for the next mayor of Chicago! (And in the 48th ward, the next alderperson too!) Get out the vote Chicago! 🇺🇲🗳️ #ChicagoElection

From the #chicago permanent vote by mail form.
This is some next-level bureaucracy obstacles #chicagoelection #bureaucracy

For any Chicago 48th Ward voters (or municipal politics nerds), the full video of Wednesday's aldermanic runoff forum is online: https://youtu.be/vMcGo5BaOi8

Valles more like Failes #ChicagoElection

Paul Vallas darkened Brandon Johnson's face for a campaign ad. Straight up racist.

Big night in #chicago politics last night with Mayor Lori Lightfoot being voted out, and challengers Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson moving on to the runoff. #politics #chicagomayor #chicagoelection https://news.wttw.com/2023/02/28/vallas-johnson-have-early-leads-early-chicago-mayoral-vote-returns

I don't live in #Chicago anymore sadly, so I have no vote on who their next mayor is, but for the love of God...don't elect Paul Vallas. Dig up the bones of Richard J. Daley if you have to, but don't elect Vallas. He smells Trumpy, and Chicago doesn't need Trumpy. #ChicagoElection #politics

Anyone get a screenshot of the cop with the bagpipes walking around the Vallas party from the WGN News? #chicagoelection

Political scientists will be discussing the fall of the house of Lightfoot for years. From a clean sweep to a distant 3rd in the space of a term. Chicago politics is never EVER boring. #ChicagoElection #ilpol

And fin. Exeunt all.

In my local election for alderman a cop backed by the racist police union is in a tie with the first Asian member of city council. JFC. #ChicagoElection #Chicago
