Mary Ann Ahern @MaryAnnAhernNBC is covering the story that most Chicago journalists aren't ready to report: Lori Lightfoot is not in a position to make the runoff. Chuy and Vallas have much stronger bases of support to advance to a runoff. What wards do Lightfoot actually win?

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

To the working people of Illinois: I have your back and will always stand up for what's right.

Chuy García @ChuyChicago leads first round vote for Chicago mayor by 7%, beats Lightfoot by 31% in head to head poll. Chuy is the clear favorite. Poll conducted by @Local150 #twill https://t.co/sXwWozGjlR

As candidates for Chicago mayor jockey for union support, ‘Chuy’ García lands a big labor endorsement https://t.co/jD7XLDOEDK

With more ballots counted, Lake and Fulton counties have now voted "YES" to Illinois Amendment 1, which enshrines the right to collective bargaining into the state constitution. The Amendment passes with 53% "yes" votes of total ballots cast #twill #electiontwitter

Happy Thanksgiving week! ILEPI is thankful for passage of the Workers' Rights Amendment in Illinois.

Illinois is the most pro-worker state. #workersrightsamendment

It's National Apprenticeship Week! In Illinois, union programs train 97% of all construction apprentices and deliver significantly higher completion rates and journeyworker wages than employer-only nonunion programs. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2022 #ApprenticeshipWeek

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

Good morning.

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

The Associated Press has officially called the race.

When workers vote, workers win. 💪

Illinois will have the strongest worker protections in the nation.

[Illinois Economic Policy Institute @IllinoisEPI]

Union apprenticeship programs are the bachelor's degrees of the construction industry. In Illinois, they deliver training hours, graduation rates, diversity outcomes, and competitive earnings that rival public universities. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2022 #ApprenticeshipWeek

@MarkMaxwellTV This man scooped a country on how to do math! Awesome reporting on the Worker’s Rights Amendment WIN! Well done @MarkMaxwellTV

[Mark Maxwell @MarkMaxwellTV]

It's official: Illinois voters approve changes to the state constitution to enshrine collective bargaining rights and ban future efforts to implement Right to Work policies. With 2,113,534 votes in favor, there is no longer any mathematical path for the amendments defeat.

[Frank Calabrese @FrankCalabrese]

Illinois Amendment 1 PASSES, which enshrines the right to collective bargaining in the Illinois Constitution. While the amendment did not get 60% of the amendment question vote, it met the other legal requirement to get more than 50% of total ballots cast in the election. #twill
