4 Interested in 9th Ward Alderman Vacancy

Four residents of Evanston’s Ninth Ward have expressed interest in the alderman vacancy there.

Dan Coyne, Shawn Jones, Mary McAuley and Brian Miller introduced themselves to ward residents and Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl during a Wednesday community meeting called by the Mayor to discuss filling the vacancy left by Coleen Burrus, the current alderman who is leaving Evanston to accept a position at Princeton University. It is up to Tisdahl to name a replacement for Burrus.

According to Evanston Now:

Coyne is a Ridgeville Park District board member and school social worker. Jones an attorney and reporter for the Evanston RoundTable. McAuley is co-owner of Evanston-based Renaissance Realty and Miller is president of the Democratic Party of Evanston.

Tisdahl agreed to make an attempt to schedule another community meeting where all these candidates and any other who may emerge will have a chance to share their views on pertinent issues.
