I ask this for a few reasons....2/3 aldermanic candidates in my ward don't live here. 2/3 public school trustees don't live here (to my knowledge) either, making me the only one who does in that group. For me its almost a deal breaker for civic politics in general. I guess its one thing if the candidate lives a block away or something like that, but each ward has its own issues in my opinion. What do you think?
A candidate who does not live in my ward needs to be beyond stellar in every respect to get my vote over someone who does.
