Evanston’s mayoral race just got real: Jade Carpenter, a Skokie-based business attorney and second ward resident, officially launched her campaign for the April 2027 special election to fill the rest of Mayor Daniel Biss’s term—triggered by Biss’s planned exit in October 2024. Carpenter, a mom and small business lawyer focused on women and minority entrepreneurs, says she’s running to build on Evanston’s future after seeing firsthand how broken systems hurt people. While she’s keeping campaign details tight for now, she’s already building infrastructure. She’s not alone—former candidate Jeff Boarini and Ald. Jonathan Nieuwsma are also in the mix, with Nieuwsma preferring to support someone else. If multiple candidates emerge, a primary will be held February 2027, and whoever wins will serve until 2029.
