Race for 32nd Ward Alderman

The 32nd Ward is one of several Northwest Side gerrymandered wards, and includes Bucktown, Logan Square, West Lakeview, and Roscoe Village. Incumbent Ald.

Key issues in the ward include housing affordability and the impact of the Lincoln Yards development along the North Branch of the Chicago River.
