43rd Ward Aldermanic Forum

 Hear the ideas that the candidates for 43rd Ward Alderman have for our Gold Coast Neighborhood, hosted by the Ambassador Chicago Hotel. Stay on after the Aldermanic Forum and enjoy the extended happy hour in Booth One.

This forum will be moderated by GCNA Board Member Carla Walker.  We look forward to a spirited exchange of ideas as the candidates explain why voters should vote for them in the February 26, 2019 election to represent the 43rd Ward.
