Smith Village holds Feb. 3 forum for 19th Ward Aldermanic candidates

Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The 60-minute forum will bring together all six of the candidates vying to fill the City Council seat held for two decades by Ald. Ginger Rugai. Rugai is not running for re-election in the ward, which includes the Beverly, Mount Greenwood and Morgan Park neighborhoods.

The contenders are
Raymond "Ray" Coronado, an accountant from Beverly; George G. Newell, a Morgan Park resident and Chicago Police officer; Matthew J. O'Shea, a West Beverly resident and aide to Rugai; Diane M. Phillips, who resides in Morgan Park and heads Elite Human Service Systems; Anne Schaible, an obstetrician from North Beverly; and Phillip R. Sherlock of Beverly, a 30-year city of Chicago employee.

“We are fortunate that the candidates have chosen our continuing care retirement community to meet voters and answer their questions less than three weeks before the election,” says Kevin McGee, executive director of Smith Village.

Due to limited space, reservations are needed. Please call 773-474-7300 to reserve a seat.
