Lori Lightfoot swept into the office of Chicago Mayor in a surprisingly decisive victory in 2019, the first African American gay mayor made history. In her four years as Mayor, she faced a global pandemic, battles with the police and teachers unions and a host of other challenges. How will history look back on the term of Mayor Lightfoot? Time will tell, but for now, reporter Gregory Pratt shares his reporting in “The City is up for Grabs: How Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Led and Lost A City in Crisis.” Deeply sourced in City Hall and other political offices, the book presents a thorough description of the tumultuous four years, filled with challenges and successes as well.
Listen to this conversation with author Greg Pratt and decide for yourself how history should view the one term of a consequential mayor.
The book can be purchased bookstores and on line including www.Amazon.com
