20th Ward Candidate Debate Thursday March 26th
One thing is certain, no matter which of the three candidates in the 20th Ward General Election wins the race on April 7th: the 20th Ward will have new representation at the Board of Aldermen. Ald. Craig Schmid, first elected in 1995, had his ward # changed on him once, and frequently faced primary & general challengers. He always came out on top — until the recent primary. Thank you Craig for your service & loyalty, but I’m glad you lost the election. It has been time to move on but you kept running anyway.
