Twelve members of the Chicago City Council are not seeking reelection, which will mean nearly a quarter of the city will get new local political leadership in 2023.
An array of Chicago mayoral and City Council signs are posted outside of Broadway Armory Park, a 48th Ward polling location on Feb. 28, 2023.
The Chicago Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, known as the DSA, which shifted the balance of political power in Chicago in 2019 by electing six members to the City Council is hoping to nearly double that number this year and seize more power for progressives than at any time since the era of former Mayor Harold Washington.
With 89% of votes counted, Nugent held an early lead over Dasgupta, with 64% of the vote, according to unofficial results.
