Ald. Deborah Graham’s campaign continues

The 29th Ward incumbent will face Chicago Police Sgt. Chris Taliaferro six weeks from now.

There’s still time to cast your vote for Chicago City Council and mayor as well as weigh in on whether the city should have an elected school board.

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

Six of the eight candidates answered questions at a forum sponsored by the newly formed Advocates for Neighborhood Development and Empowerment.

Incumbent Ald. Deborah Graham was center of attacks by rivals; she faces seven challenges Feb. 24.
