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.

We're pretty confident that Councillor Hodges will be running again. I understand a team is in place. Good news is we're over 5,000 doors knocked on our campaign which sets us up to nearly quadruple the number of doors we did last time by election day. Whatever he decides, it will be a tough race but I'm feeling like we've got the team and organization in place to make it happen in Ward 1.
