CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Mayor Lightfoot says a run for a second term as mayor is “not a gimme" — meaning, she’s thinking about it.
The first-term mayor was asked Monday about an interview she gave to the New York Times in which she said she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run again.
“It’s not a gimme. Now, the truth is that I believe in being prepared. We’ve raised over $2 million since I took the oath of office. Last year alone, we raised over half a million dollars,” she said.
“So, I believe in being prepared. But it’s a conversation that I need to have at the appropriate time with my wife.”
“Sixteen months into a global pandemic, a massive economic dislocation, surging violence,” the mayor said. “It’s not a gimme.”
