Ald. Ray Lopez (15th), one of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s most vocal critics on the Chicago City Council, dropped his mayoral bid Monday, saying it would increase the chances that someone would unseat the incumbent.
“This was not an easy decision for me,” Lopez said Monday. “I’ve been probably one of the, if not the, largest critics of the mayor and her administration, holding her feet to the fire at every turn. But I also know that this can’t just be about me.”
