CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Toni Preckwinkle and Lori Lightfoot, both hoping to become the next mayor of Chicago, spent their Sunday drumming up support ahead of the April 2 runoff.
Before knocking on doors in the Ravenswood neighborhood, Lightfoot got her supporters energized inside of a local brewery and urged them to spread her message of change.
"We have to talk to people about the possibility of having a government that is truly responsive to them," Lightfoot said.
Earlier in the day, Preckwinkle stopped by Sunday service at People's Church of the Harvest on the West Side and had a similar request.
"I came today to ask for more help," Preckwinkle said. "I also need to thank you for the support you've already given."
Preckwinkle said city government has failed parts of Chicago and vowed to flip the script.
Neither candidate mentioned their opponent, though Lightfoot did note that no one else in the race has the "spirit" that she does.
Lightfoot and Preckwinkle were the top two vote-getters in last Tuesday’s crowded mayoral race, which featured 14 candidates. It triggered the runoff election to decide who is Chicago’s next mayor.
