All three incumbent aldermen appointed last year by Mayor Lori Lightfoot appeared victorious Tuesday night in their bids to keep the City Council seats, unofficial election results show.  

And while embattled incumbent Ald. Jim Gardiner (45) finished the night ahead of his challenger Megan Mathias, an attorney, by about 11 percentage points, incumbent Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29) was ahead of his challenger CB Johnson by only 63 votes with one precinct left to report.
