Five are in.

And the clock is ticking for some 13 others vying to become Chicago's next mayor.

The weeklong period for candidates to file the required nominating signatures to get on the Feb. 26 ballot kicked off on Monday.

Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, businessman and philanthropist Willie Wilson, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, attorney Jerry Joyce and activist Catherine Brown D'Tycoon were among those who filed nominating signatures for the mayor's race on Monday morning.

It was also the beginning of the filing period for aldermanic candidates for races in all 50 wards, as well as city treasurer and city clerk. They all must file nominating signatures in the basement of the Cook County Building at 69 W. Washington.
