Sources said Lightfoot met Thursday with three finalists: Monique Scott, the former alderman’s sister; Trina Mangrum, chief of staff to Ald. Jason Ervin (28th); and former Chicago Bulls player Wallace “Mickey” Johnson.
The resignation of Ald. Michael Scott Jr. took effect last week. Scott told the Sun-Times he would be equally happy if the mayor chose either his sister, Monique Scott, or his chief-of-staff, Charles Rice, to fill his 24th Ward seat.
Whoever the mayor picks to fill the 24th Ward seat and is confirmed by the City Council will have a leg up if they run for a full term in the next municipal election, set for February 2023.
