38th Ward candidate forum January 20

Noticed on the Old Irving Park Association website this evening, candidates for 38th Ward Alderman have been invited to appear at a candidate forum on January 20 at 7:00pm at the Irish American Heritage Center, 4626 North Knox Avenue.

Eight candidates are trying to replace former Ald. Thomas Allen, who became a Cook County Circuit Court judge in December. The candidates are (in ballot order):

Timothy M. Cullerton
Tom Caravette
Carmen Hernandez
John R. Videckis
Edmund "Ed" J. Quartullo
Mahmoud Bambouyani
Bart Goldberg
Sheryl M. Morabito

The City Council recently approved Mayor Daley's nomination of Timothy M. Cullerton to the vacancy created by Allen's judicial appointment.

The Old Irving Park Association and the Portage Park Neighborhood Association are co-sponsoring the 38th Ward forum.
