Wouldn't that be 33% less?
I'd be surprised if Dale Hodges runs again in Ward 1. I thought he was going to pack it in before the last election. Lowe is retiring at 73 and I think Hodges is a little older than that. He's been an alderman since the Reagan administration. The first one.
There may not be a precedent for toppling incumbent mayors but the last two elections have shown that it is possible to defeat incumbent aldermen.
Races to watch for me are Wards 1, 2, 7, 8 (mostly because it's my ward, not because I think it will be close, unless something unexpected happens), and 11.
I'd like for wards 10 and 13 to be more interesting, but I don't think they will be.
