Lightfoot said she leaves city hall with her head held high and has no regrets.
"The notion that I'm tougher more combative than Rich Daley and Rahm Emanuel is a joke. If I was a man, a white man, we wouldn't be having these discussions," Lightfoot said.
Lightfoot believes the negative narrative, which she calls offensive, overshadowed her many accomplishments, including investments in neglected neighborhoods and a balanced budget. As she passes the gavel to Johnson on Monday, she said, while he faces a number of big challenges immediately, her administration has done everything to set Johnson up for success.
"As I've mentioned to him before, and I will say here, my door is always open for any consultation that he wants, and I won't even charge him," Lightfoot said.
