In the Northwest Side 1st Ward, progressive first-term incumbent Ald.Daniel La Spata took off with a wide lead against his opponents - but as of Tuesday night appeared to have just missed an outright win that would require picking up more than half the vote.La Spata faced a stiff challenge from a slate of well-financed and well-known rivals, including attorney Sam Royko, the son of the late Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko, who was pulling second and now could face La Spata in an April 4 runoff.
