In a pair of South Side aldermanic runoff races, voters in the 6th Ward will choose between two ministers while those in the 21st are deciding between a community organizer backed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker and a retired firefighter.
The 6th Ward: Candidates seek return of ward’s ‘glory days’
Court records show two misdemeanor cases for Hall, one when he was a teenager in 2001 for criminal damage to property, and the second in 2008 for reckless conduct.Both cases were ultimately dropped. Court records also showed Hall received about 16 traffic tickets between 2002 and 2021, some of which were mentioned in the mailer.
Hall is pitching a “North Side strategy” in the ward — the sort he said he sees in use in other parts of the city. He describes it as a combination of police walking beats, bicycle officers and patrols near expressway exits that would allow officers to more quickly respond to crime and improve relations between officers and skeptical residents.
Aldermanic candidate Richard Wooten, center, talks with Deborah Echols-Moore outside the Whitney M. Young, Jr. branch of the Chicago Public Library on March 28, 2023, in Chicago. “We have all the things in the making surrounding us to help our area become more ... more economically developed,” Wooten said.
The winner will replace Ald. Roderick Sawyer, who resigned his seat to make an unsuccessful bid for mayor, and will be only the fourth 6th Ward alderman since 1989.With the retirement of Ald. Howard Brookins after 20 years, the future of the 21st Ward will be in the hands of either retired firefighter Cornell Dantzler or community organizer Ronnie Mosley.Mosley had a slight edge in the Feb. 25 election, garnering 25% of the vote to Dantzler’s 22%.
