Outgoing Alderpeople Discuss Lightfoot Legacy, Challenges Ahead for Johnson

The last Chicago City Council meeting of this term is in the books, and for a dozen Chicago alderpeople, it was their last council meeting ever.

Among those not coming back are Ald. Sophia King (4th Ward) — who ran unsuccessfully for mayor — and Ald. James Cappleman (46th Ward) and Ald. Harry Osterman (48th Ward), who both chose not to seek reelection.

All three sat down with “Chicago Tonight” to discuss their time on City Council, the legacy of Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the challenges ahead for Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson.
