We discuss what Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s win means for the future of the city, and what policies we can expect over the next four years. South Side Natalie Moore details who courted the black vote hardest and how it shaped the race. Education reporter Becky Vevea explains what Emanuel is facing with upcoming teacher contracts, and what role the CTU played in this campaign. North Side reporter Odette Yousef has a preview of what last night’s results mean for the future of City Council’s progressive caucus and if the Mayor will face more opposition and less rubber stamping than he did the last four years. And politics reporter Lauren Chooljian looks back on the campaign and if we can expect a more humble mayor as Emanuel said in his acceptance speech last night.
