Mixed fortunes in Seventh ward alderman race
The Seventh ward faces a fractured Republican base with internal factions. Incumbent candidate F. M. W. Anderson is seen as likely to lose by a large margin after a caucus defeat by Stephen Eiker. Reports say organizers used a “pull-hunt” plan to sway votes while insiders claimed support remained with Anderson.
