29th Ward candidates go head-to-head at Galewood debate

Deborah Graham and Chris Taliaferro are set to debate the issues at other events before the April 7th runoff.

Eight candidates are vying for the right to represent Austin, Galewood and other parts of the West Side.

Voters will get to choose among four in one race and eight in the other in the Feb. 24 election.

Hearings are being held by the Chicago Board of Elections to determine whose names will appear on the Feb. 24 ballot.

Only two other of the city’s 50 wards had more people submitting their petitions for the Feb. 24th election.

Candidates have until Nov. 24th to file their petitions to challenge Ald. Deborah Graham.
