Two incumbent Southwest Side City Council members appeared to win by healthy margins Tuesday night — including one who distanced herself from indicted former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan.
The contests in the 13th, 14th and 23rd wards were framed by the aggressive work in recent years of the office of U.S. Attorney John Lausch, which secured expansive racketeering indictments against Madigan and Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th).
