Chicago mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot kisses wife, Amy Eshleman after speaking during the election night party in Chicago, Illinois, 04/02/2019.
In a historic first, a gay African American woman was elected mayor of America’s third largest city Tuesday, as Chicago voters entrusted a political novice with tackling difficult problems of economic inequality and gun violence.
Lori Lightfoot, a 56-year-old former federal prosecutor and practicing lawyer who has never before held elected office, was elected the midwestern city’s mayor in a lopsided victory.
