Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is being criticized for comments she made during an election rally Saturday.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is being criticized by mayoral candidates for comments she made during her "Get Out the Vote" rally Saturday in the Grand Crossing neighborhood.
The mayor's campaign later issued a statement Saturday saying, "The Mayor urges every Chicagoan to exercise their rights and get out to vote. The stakes of this election are high, and Chicagoans should take action to make sure we keep moving forward on the economic progress she's led on the South and West Sides, raising the minimum wage to $15, and investments in public safety and affordable housing.
ABC 7 reached out to Paul Vallas' campaign for a response to Lightfoot's remark, but did not hear back. Businessman Willie Wilson also released a statement which read, in part, "Our city deserves a mayor that does not use race to divide us. We have been divided for too long. The mayor should be encouraging all people to go out and vote!"
