As a two-year-old bill that gives state officials the green light to sell the James R. Thompson Center awaits Gov. JB Pritzker’s signature, Ald. Brendan Reilly (42) said he still hasn’t seen a new proposal for the much loved and loathed building. Meanwhile, Reilly moved Wednesday to force a vote on a measure to broadcast City Council committee hearings.

Mayoral candidate Toni Preckwinkle said a Facebook post from a campaign worker for Ald. Scott Waguespack (32) “raises questions” about whether rival Lori Lightfoot promised the chairman of the Progressive Caucus a powerful position in return for an endorsement and campaign cash. In the 6th Ward, Black Caucus Chairman Roderick Sawyer prepared for a runoff against Deborah Foster-Bonner.

Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle will be able to accept unlimited contributions during the mayoral runoff, after Lightfoot blew the caps in the second round of voting. Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Chicago should be proud two African American women are vying to replace him — but don’t expect him to endorse either candidate.

Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle will advance to the April 2 runoff in the fight for Chicago mayor, ensuring that Chicago’s next mayor will be an African American woman who has promised to steer the city along a more progressive path, as voters rejected a bid by Bill Daley to become the third member of his family to be Chicago mayor.

Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36) returned home Sunday after suffering “cardiovascular discomfort” and being hospitalized Wednesday. Mayoral candidate Toni Preckwinkle called on newly named Zoning Chairman Ald. James Cappleman (46) to delay a vote on Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan for a new training facility for police officers and firefighters.

With precisely one week until Election Day, mayoral candidates Bill Daley and Gery Chico are out with new ads they hope will close the deal with voters — many of whom are still undecided, according to recent polls — and are being inundated with campaign mail.

With less than two weeks until Election Day, mayoral candidate Toni Preckwinkle unveiled her closing argument with a new television spot. Cook County Republican Party Chairman Sean Morrison tossed his support behind mayoral candidate Willie Wilson, while 1st Ward aldermanic challenger Daniel La Spata lost another endorsement because of a photo from his bachelor party that City Council Black Caucus Chairman Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6) said was “racist.”

Ameya Pawar, who notched the endorsements of both the Tribune and Sun Times in the race for treasurer, took a page from U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wednesday, while U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin endorsed 41st Ward challenger Tim Heneghan.

Lori Lightfoot, one of the first candidates to join the mayoral race, became the latest candidate to hit the television airwaves just three short weeks before Election Day. In addition, candidate Amara Enyia announced the creation of a new “Black and Brown coalition” by endorsing three aldermanic candidates.
