Lori E. Lightfoot
Challenge
Lori Lightfoot’s emergence from the crowded general election with a spot in the run-off was inspiring. Her primary election victory, unanticipated by most outside of her lean and mean campaign team, meant she had to quickly add capacity with trusted advisors who could build on her success with an approach that was both authentic and disciplined.
Solution
After coming in first in the general election, Lori Lightfoot realized that for the run-off she needed more – more resources, communications expertise, experience and knowledge of Chicago campaigns. She needed a firm hand on the tiller to navigate the tricky political waters and the tight time frame. She turned to Grisko, trusted partners who had managed communications for her for the Police Accountability Task Force. We provided instant resources, including strategic counsel, communications, and messaging. We also planned an election night celebration commensurate with the historic nature of her election.
Results
Lori E. Lightfoot’s election as Mayor of Chicago garnered immediate national & international attention; she took advantage of that heightened interest while focusing on the needs of the people of Chicago.
