2nd Ward aldermanic race tops $1 million
Via The Chicago Tribune
If money talks, it will have a lot to say in the new 2nd Ward come Election Day.
More than $1 million has poured into the campaign coffers of the six candidates who want to represent the ward, which cuts across 13 North Side neighborhoods stretching from the Gold Coast to Ukrainian Village.
The redrawn ward boundaries are so oddly shaped that one candidate said it looked like “a dog’s breakfast.” It was created in early 2012, when the City Council redrew the wards to account for population shifts documented in the 2010 census. The current 2nd Ward alderman is Bob Fioretti, who chose to run for mayor after the ward boundaries were shifted north.
