Bennett Lawson is the only candidate in the race to succeed retiring 44th Ward Ald. Tom Tunney, whom he served as chief of staff.
"You'd think there be a lot of pent-up demand for change," ABC7 political analyst Laura Washington said, "but Tom Tunney is also very popular, he has run the ward with iron fists."
And helping Tunney run the ward is Lawson, who has been Tunney's chief of staff for the past 15 years. Some voters say that while competition is healthy, they are fine with Lawson running unopposed.Tunney makes no apologies for quickly anointing Lawson his successor. "I think the way I announced I wasn't running at the same time endorsing him as my successor probably a little strong arm on my part, but I believed he deserved it," Tunney said.Copyright © 2023 WLS-TV.
