Wicker Park and Logan Square are among the neighborhoods the four candidates want to represent.
Note: Candidates' responses are edited for brevity. Moreno wrote:"I have released a detailed plan that includes funding a state of the art police satellite station in the 12th district, bringing our walking beat cops back to the ward, and expanding mental health services for our constituents, as well as our police men and women."
Gentrification and housing affordability is a hot topic among ward residents that live in neighborhoods including West Town, Ukrainian Village and Noble Square. La Spata spoke about his work helping to legitimize coach houses and basement units as housing options."If the only way that we're encouraging affordability and housing stability is through new development, we're going to be sunk so we're trying to find ways to reduce property taxes for longtime homeowners, to expand the assessor's new program that brings property relief – longtime relief – to folks who are willing to keep rental units affordable.
"For me, I've always called it like it is. I want to be honest with people and we want to really make a difference that people can care about. It's about representing the people," said Royko.
