The Chicago City Council will see significant turnover next year as a wave of aldermen will not be running for reelection.
The decision by the Lincoln Park alderperson gives Mayor Lori Lightfoot the rare chance for a third appointment to the Council. Lightfoot already has replaced Patrick Daley Thompson, forced to resign after a federal conviction, and Michael Scott Jr., who left for a private sector job.
The surprise move comes shortly after Mayor Lightfoot appointed Scott's sister to replace him on the City Council.
West Side Ald. Michael Scott announced in May that he would step down from the council to work for Cinespace Studios.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has nominated Monique Scott to serve as the new alderperson for the city’s 24th Ward.
