The City of Chicago has a new mayor. Democrat Brandon Johnson beat another Democrat Paul Vallas on Tuesday. Johnson is seen as a much more progressive Democrat than Vallas was seen as.

He takes over a city that suffers from a poor reputation based on crime and underperforming schools. Governor JB Pritzker says he’s looking forward to working with him and says voters are sending a clear message about what is important.

Johnson is 47 years old and will take office next month.
