Obama aide named mayor
Emanuel, who will be the Windy City’s first Jewish mayor, pledged to work to overcome the “old divisions and old ways that have held Chicago back”.
He takes control of the ethnically, racially and economically divided midwestern city on May 16. “What makes this victory most gratifying is it was built on votes from every corner of this city, from people who believe that a common set of challenges must be met with a common purpose,” Emanuel told supporters.
