Nineteen aldermen, including several progressive Johnson allies and other more conservative aldermen, have so far signed onto the resolution that also calls for Carter to resign.
Chicago Transit Authority President Dorval R. Carter, Jr. crosses his arms as Mayor Brandon Johnson responds to a question about keeping Carter as the CTA’s president during a press conference in Roseland announcing federal funding for the CTA’s Red Line expansion to 130th Street on Sept. 8, 2023. A group of aldermen are calling on Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. J.B. Pritzker to replace embattled Chicago Transit Authority President Dorval Carter.
“We are using patience. At the end of the day, we need outcomes to change, we need outcomes to improve,” Martin said. “That’s just not happening.” Vasquez and Martin plan to push for more backers before introducing the bill at the May 22 full City Council meeting. Current supporters include Ald. Jessie Fuentes, 26th, Ald. Bill Conway, 34th, and Ald. Maria Hadden, 49th, according to Vasquez. He did not respond Monday morning when asked to share a full list.
Ald. Andre Vasquez, left, speaks to Daniel La Spata, 1st, before a Chicago City Council meeting at City Hall on April 17, 2024. Control of Carter’s future ultimately belongs to Johnson, who appoints the majority of the CTA board members who oversee the CTA president. The City Council resolution cannot compel the mayor to order a change in CTA leadership, but could add more pressure, particularly if his progressive allies strongly support the effort.
