Lori Lightfoot made history four years ago as the first Black woman and first openly gay person to serve as Chicago mayor. But her bid for a second term is in question amid concerns about continuing high crime in the nation’s third-largest city and accusations that she can be overly hostile and sometimes flat-out mean.
