On this past Monday evenings episode, of the KDHX podcast Tangazo hosted by Tim Person and St. Louis American editorial columnist, Michael Wesley Jones. ———

The discussion centered on the upcoming aldermanic races, in the newly configured wards in St. Louis City. ——-

Incumbent 20th ward Alderwoman Cara Spencer, displayed the composure and poise expected of a seasoned campaigner, who came very close to winning the last mayor’s race in the city of St. Louis. ———

She currently represents a ward that is 80% African American, which says a lot about her political savvy, as she campaigns for the aldermanic seat in the new 8th ward, which encompasses downtown St. Louis. ———

Alisha Sonnier, currently serves as a member of the St. Louis City School board and is now a candidate for the newly drawn 7th Ward. She was well versed on critical issues facing St. Louis city, with special interest, in supporting our public schools system. ———

Tim and Mike, with over 4 decades each of St. Louis City and County political experience, helped facilitate 45 minutes of an interesting discussion, on the future of StLouis, as we head towards the March primary election. 
I will moderate a public forum, at the downtown St. Louis City Central Library, on Wednesday February the 15th, for aldermanic candidates in the new 14th ward. The forum will begin at 6pm and end at 7:30pm ———
