On Monday, March 26, the Dems hosted the first ward 1 aldermanic debate. More than 70 people showed up at the JE Theater to hear the candidates discuss the issues important to ward 1. The YDN liveblogged the event, and covered it in Tuesday’s paper.

Additionally, our new Elections Committee has written up an issues guide for this election, which provides some great background for those not familiar with local politics. You can get a quick summary by reading the 1-page guide, or go more in depth by reading the longer version.

Video of the debate is available courtesy of the Katie Harrison campaign. Photos from the event are over at Picasa:
