Taylor avoids a runoff by winning more than 50% of the vote.
Mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson talks about Ald. Jeanette Taylor, 20th, at her campaign office last month.
Though neither of her challengers had conceded, it didn’t stop Taylor from celebrating Tuesday as she pulled far enough ahead of them to win more than half the vote, clinching another term without having to go to a second round of balloting.“The thought that went out to the polls and put me back gives me relief,” Taylor told the Tribune. “And lets me know that they trust me and I trust them.”.
Though the City Council saw an exodus of aldermen who chose not to seek reelection this year, the incumbents who did Taylor, who had the backing of the CTU and the Chicago chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, pledged to support Johnson in the mayoral runoff.
