Last night, Lori Lightfoot made history as the first female African American and first openly gay person to be elected Chicago mayor. Lightfoot, 56, a former federal prosecutor who'd never been elected to public office, defeated Cook County Board President and longtime City Council member Toni Preckwinkle on Tuesday. Lightfoot won every one of the city's 50 wards.
This represents a historic moment in American representational politics.
