With 14 Chicago City Council races up for grabs for the runoff election, it appears that most of the incumbents who were facing reelection battles will hang on,.
Nearly a quarter of the city will get new political leadership in 2023, a result of an unprecedented exodus of veteran alderpeople that will herald along with the election of a new mayor the start of a new era at City Hall.
While the majority of the 50 Chicago City Council seats were filled after the Feb. 28 elections, more than a dozen are still up for grabs in the April 4 runoff.
