One day after launching her battle for a second term, Mayor Lori Lightfoot hit the campaign trail on Wednesday with a promise to retain Police Superintendent David Brown and keep on fighting against powerful forces who “want their city back.”

“You know what this fight is about. When I got into office, the people who were used to having their way — who were used to dominating our city — they wanted their city back and they’ve been fighting against us every single day,” Lightfoot told the breakfast crowd at Starlight Restaurant, 8300 S. Kedzie Ave. in Ashburn.
