Elected Mayor

Thomas Dyer
Democratic

In the 1856 Chicago mayoral election, Thomas Dyer defeated former mayor Francis Cornwall Sherman.[1] The race was shaped by the divisive national political debate surrounding the issue of slavery, particularly debate surrounding the controversial Kansas–Nebraska Act, and the election was treated by many as a referendum on it.[2] Dyer vocally supported the act, while Sherman stood in opposition to it.

The election was held on March 10.[3]
