And panelists Alderman Shawn Gregory Ward 2, Principal of St Patrick Catholic school Micheal Carlson, and Board member of Faith Coalition Mark Franklin.

All men in leadership who want to encourage the public to do their research on the candidates, and to vote according to their core beliefs.

To close the event there was a call to action. Your vote counts. Use your right to vote and encourage those you know to vote as well.
