Clip: 4/3/2019 | 10m 44sVideo has Closed Captions
We speak with the winners of aldermanic battles in the 20th, 25th, 39th and 47th Wards.
Tuesday’s runoff election brought to a close aldermanic battles in 15 wards across the city. But in four wards, candidates fought for seats left open by aldermen who are stepping down from City Council – for a variety of reasons. We’re joined by Alds.-elect Jeanette Taylor, Byron Sigcho-Lopez, Samantha “Sam” Nugent and Matt Martin.
