Chicago already has one mayoral dynasty. Ald. Roderick Sawyer is hoping he can be a part of another.
Sawyer, the son of Eugene Sawyer, Chicago’s mayor from 1987-89, is giving up his 6th Ward City Council seat with the goal of turning Lori Lightfoot into a one-term mayor.
“I want to give the people a more collaborative option, where every voice matters. The current administration’s style of governing is a top-down form of government,” he said.
