Events in the Life of Harold Washington :
vte :
The Chicago mayoral election of 1983 began with the primary on February 22, 1983, which was followed by the general on April 12, 1983. The election saw the election of Chicago's first African-American mayor, Harold Washington.
Incumbent Mayor Jane Byrne, who had served since April 16, 1979, faced a primary challenge from Cook County State's Attorney Richard M. Daley and from U.S. Congressman Harold Washington. Washington defeated Byrne and Daley in the Democratic primary in February 1983, winning by nearly 3 points.
In the general election, Washington faced Republican nominee Bernard Epton. Epton's candidacy was initially thought to be a longshot, but backlash to Washington among white voters propelled his candidacy. This led to a highly competitive general election race. In a high-turnout election, Washington won with a 3.7% lead over Epton.

## Turnout

The election saw high turnout, both during the primaries and the general election.

### Primary elections

During the city's Democratic and Republican primaries (held on February 22) 77.49% of registered voters voted. This was a very high turnout for Chicago mayoral primaries.
1,235,324 ballots were returned by voters in the city's primary elections (1,217,965 in the Democratic primary, 14,641 ballots in the Republican primary, and 2,718 in for third-party's primaries). Most ballots were cast in-person at precinct polling places on election day, though 22,483 ballots were cast absentee and 1,822 were cast at nursing homes. Not all of these ballots cast votes in the mayoral primaries, however.

### General election

General election turnout was 82.07%.
1,334,303 ballots were returned by voters in the general election. Most ballots were cast in-person at precinct polling places on election day, though 25,427 were absentee ballots and 1,822 were cast at nursing homes. Not all of these ballots cast votes in the mayoral race, however.

## Democratic primary
### Candidates

* Jane Byrne, incumbent mayor since 1979
* Richard M. Daley, Cook County state's attorney
* Harold Washington, U.S. congressman

### Campaign

Since winning an upset victory in the 1979 Democratic primary and a landslide victory in that year's general election, Jane Byrne's mayoral tenure faced numerous difficulties. A three-way race emerged between Byrne, congressman Harold Washington, and Cook County State's Attorney Richard M. Daley (the son of former mayor Richard J. Daley). Byrne secured support for her re-nomination from 33 of the city's aldermen. Two months ahead of the primary, the city's Democratic Party organization endorsed her. Of the candidates, Byrne's campaign had the most funds. She raised more than $3 million. In late 1982, Byrne aired ads to rehabilitate her image, accepting blame for past mistakes, but arguing she put the city on better financial footing and was seasoned enough to lead the city through turmoil. While Byrne had presented herself as a protegee of former mayor Richard J. Daley in 1979, she now blamed him for many of the city's financial shortcomings.
Daley's own son Richard M. Daley capitalized off a desire which many Chicagoans held (despite Byrne's criticisms) to return to what they perceived to have been comparatively stable years which the city had experienced under Richard J. Daley's leadership. Newspapers had speculated about a Daley candidacy since the start of the Byrne administration. Byrne recognized the threat posed by the younger Daley and sought to contain him. In the 1980 Cook County State's Attorney election, Byrne backed Ed Burke in the Democratic primary and later Republican Bernard Carey in the general election, both of whom were defeated by Daley. However, the younger Daley struggled with a perception that he was a lightweight compared to his father. There was also a perception at the time that the younger Daley held an inferior intellect to those of his opponents. When Daley officially launched his campaign in September 1982, polls showed him ahead of or tied with Byrne. Daley campaigned as a reform-minded candidate who wanted a cleaner government.
Washington had been the favorite among much of Chicago's African American Community, and a movement to draft Washington was led by former journalist, and community activist Lu Palmer. A poll by the Chicago Black United Communities (CBUC) found Washington to be the favorite among 10 prospective black candidates. Washington initially did not accept any overtures to run. During a July 26, 1982, event where prominent figures in the Black community intended to endorse his mayoral candidacy, Washington declared in his speech that the coming race was about "the plan, not the man." Moreover, Washington wanted a guarantee that a prospective campaign would have adequate resources and specifically wanted an increase in black voter registration. In the aftermath of this, activists registered more than 100,000 new voters, and with Daley and Byrne competing with each other, there was a credible path for Washington. On November 10, 1982, Washington announced in Hyde Park he would run for mayor.
A voting bloc which was sought after were the independent-leaning Democrats often called "lakefront liberals". They had backed Byrne in the 1979 primary, but were hesitant to back her again. Much of the city's white electorate was split between Byrne and Daley. The fact that neither Byrne nor Daley were able to consolidate the white electorate around their candidacy provided Washington an opportunity to win a plurality of the overall vote.
While Washington was anticipated to do well among African-American voters, he would not have been able to capture the nomination on African-American support alone. While Byrne and Daley received numerous white endorsements, including from national figures such as Ted Kennedy and Walter Mondale, the only white elected officials to endorse Washington represented predominately black areas. Because Washington's campaign had issues with lower name recognition at first, Byrne and Daley opted to not make any racially charged attacks on Washington in the hopes of winning over black voters. Byrne held a lead with minority voters as late as January 1983.
Cook County Democratic Party chairman Edward Vrdolyak was alleged to have encouraged voters to back Byrne, warning that a vote for Daley was a vote for Washington. Vrdolyak said "It's a racial thing. Don't kid yourself. I'm calling on you to save your city, to save your precinct. We’re fighting to keep the city the way it is." Washington condemned the remarks and Byrne was dismissive of making race an issue.
In the closing days of the campaign, Byrne was on the defense, particularly from attacks being lodged by Daley. Daley, meanwhile, was struggling to convince voters that he was no longer in third place. Washington entered the television ad campaign later than the other candidates, only having barely $1 million to spend on his campaign. Byrne spent a total of $10 million on her campaign, $5 million more than her 1979 campaign. Daley won the endorsements of both of the city's major newspapers, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times

### Results

The election was held on Tuesday, February 22, 1983. 1.2 million Chicagoans went to polls to cast their ballot, noted then as the largest turnout since 25 years earlier in 1958. Turnout was 77.5%. Washington received 36.3% of the citywide vote and roughly 80% of the African-American vote. Mayor Byrne had 33.6% of the citywide vote and Daley came in third place with 29.7%. The election saw a record-setting 69% of registered African-American voter turnout. Author Paul Green would later say that Daley was not adequately prepared to run in 1983, lacking an efficient political organization, significant political experience, and lacking an understanding of the issues and demographics of the city.

## Republican primary

Former state Representative Bernard Epton won the Republican nomination. Epton had reluctantly run after being urged by party leaders. Governor James Thompson had even personally called Epton, offering his gubernatorial campaign staff to help out on a prospective Epton mayoral candidacy. Epton was the only established figure who agreed to seek the nomination, and had all but formally secured the nomination at party meetings in November. Chicago had not elected a Republican mayor in 56 years (since the 1927 Chicago mayoral election). At the time, Chicago had no Republican aldermen on its City Council. While Chicago was regarded as overwhelmingly Democratic, it was hoped by many Republicans that if Washington were nominated by the Democrats, many white voters would vote for the Republican nominee. Epton stated, "Chicago has been regarded for too long as a Democratic stronghold. It's about time we change that image." Epton was ultimately unopposed on the Republican primary ballot after candidates Ralph G. Medly, William Arthur Murray, and Raymond Wardingley saw their names removed from the ballot due to issues with their petitions. Wardingly had been a candidate in the previous election's primary. During the primary, Epton raised $41,000, of which almost entirely came from self-donations or donations from family.

## Independent candidate

Ed Warren ran as an independent candidate.

## General election
### Campaigning

After Washington's primary victory, a backlash began to emerge among white voters. In the days after, Republican Party headquarters were filled with volunteers. A week afterward, Epton's rallies were attended by people wearing bags with "Unknown Democrats for Epton" written on them. Moreover, Democratic Aldermen were reticent to support Washington. The first Alderman to endorse Epton was Aloysius Majerczyk. Majerczyk said his constituents "are giving me a message of racial pride. . . . They're afraid of scattered-site housing. They're concerned about the stability of our neighborhoods." Other white aldermen followed, implicitly or explicitly. Edward Vrdolyak, chair of the Cook County Democratic Party, offered only tepid support for Washington, and allegedly maintained contact with the Epton campaign.
In spite of this, Epton promised to not make race an issue. He vowed not to make personal attacks and spoke highly of Washington, whom he had served in the state legislature with. James Fletcher, who ran James R. Thompson's first successful gubernatorial campaign, became Epton's general election campaign manager. High-profile figures such as Republican Senator Paul Laxalt (chairman of the RNC) campaigned for Epton.
Washington and his team opted to ignore the initial attacks under the logic that Chicago Republicans were essentially a non-factor. As the city was overwhelmingly Democratic, Washington campaigned on goals he intended to accomplish and generally focused on uniting the party for the general election. However, with time, this strategy would shift as much of the city's Democratic establishment refused to endorse Washington. Washington grew frustrated with the Democratic resistance and threatened to help defeat Democratic candidates in 1984 if the party officials did not support him.
On March 17, Byrne announced she was running as a write-in candidate, claiming of Epton and Washington ''neither of them represents the best interest of Chicago; neither of them has a program for Chicago.'' Epton believed that Byrne's candidacy would hurt his candidacy and help Washington. Washington was critical of her campaign, though privately saw the campaign as helpful for his candidacy. Byrne's candidacy was met with resistance from Democratic aldermen, and Ted Kennedy personally visited with Byrne to convince her to drop the campaign. After being booed at a Southside nursing home, Byrne withdrew after only a week. In addition to a lack of support, Byrne had hoped to avoid a court battle with the Chicago Board of Elections over the simplification of write-in procedures.
As the race went on, it became increasingly competitive, with the Chicago Sun-Times' Basil Talbott Jr. calling it a "tossup". Epton was polling double what a Republican typically polled in Chicago mayoral races. The race also grew very bitter, as the last weeks of the campaign saw various attacks from Epton's campaign. Epton made frequent reference to Washington's past legal troubles, including a failure to pay his taxes and a brief suspension of his law license. Epton's ads used the slogan "Epton- Before it's too late", which capitalized on the fears of white voters. Washington's campaign, meanwhile, took advantage of claims that Epton had been institutionalized multiple times for depression and attacked Epton's slogan for its racially tinged messaging.
On March 27, an incident occurred at St. Pascal's Catholic Church on the northwest side where Washington and former Vice President Walter Mondale were accosted by protestors. The incident received national attention, including a cover story in Newsweek titled "Chicago's Ugly Election", and similar stories appeared in other outlets as well. Subsequently, Washington's team made advertisements using footage of the protestors to highlight to white liberals the level of racism behind the opposition to Washington. In the last days of the campaign, a flier circulated accusing Washington of being a child molester. Washington delivered a speech in response criticizing Epton's character, which earned applause and cheers from a predominantly white audience.
The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times both endorsed Washington.
