Continuing our spring election coverage, we turn to Common Council District 9 on Madison's far-west side.
Alder Nikki Conklin has represented the area for the last four years. She faces two challengers in next month's primary: former nurse and educator Dr. Joann Pritchett and Rick Cruz, a financial consultant for the state's Department of Public Instruction.
The race heads to a primary on February 18th - and we sat down with alder Conklin and Dr. Pritchett to discuss their top issues, their vision for the city of Madison, and how they plan to communicate with their constituents.
All broadcasters – including WORT – are subject to equal time rules, so we reach out to all candidates in contested races. Rick Cruz declined our request to schedule an interview before next month’s primary.
