Near Westside Mayoral Candidate Forum

During the 2023 spring primary election on Feb. 21, Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway will face a pair of challengers: Gloria Reyes, the previous CEO of Briarpatch Youth Services and a former deputy mayor; and Scott Kerr, a longtime city employee with traffic engineering, building inspection and the parking utility. Hear from the three candidates at a pair of forums this week. The Jan. 30 event is hosted by seven west-side neighborhood associations, and moderated by former Wisconsin Public Radio host Joy Cardin; find a Zoom option here. The candidates convene again on Jan. 31 for an event hosted by the Urban League and several partner organizations; register here.

media release (from the Greenbush neighborhood listserv): We Have a Three-Way Race for Mayor! And now we have an opportunity to meet the candidates, hear their priorities, and question them on their positions on issues facing the city.

Where does each candidate stand on public safety? Transportation and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)? Housing opportunities? Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)? Our homeless population? The environment? How would each candidate deal with our growing population and our increasing structural deficit? Come find out!

Featuring Mayoral candidates Satya Rhodes-Conway, Gloria Reyes, and Scott Kerr. The two candidates getting the most votes in the February 21 Primary will advance to the April 4 Spring Election.
