Willie Mae Reid ran as the Socialist Workers Party candidate for Mayor of Chicago in 1975, winning 16,693 votes but coming in third place against Richard J. Daley. The number had fallen from the number of signatures she'd acquired to get on the ballot, 66,000, possibly due to some of Mayor Daley's minions, notorious for altering votes. Daley was famous for running the political machinery of Chicago. She also ran as the Socialist Workers' Party vice presidential candidate in 1976 and again in 1992, winning 91,314 votes.
