Mayoral politics spilled over onto the City Council floor Wednesday after members resoundingly rejected incumbent Lori Lightfoot’s attempts to appoint retiring Ald. James Cappleman (46th) as Education Committee chair, replacing former Ald. Michael Scott Jr. (24th).
The failed attempt to nominate Cappleman was a rebuke to mayoral challenger Sophia King (4th), the committee’s vice-chair, who is serving as acting chair.
