City council candidate call out Mayoral candidate Joliet races heat up

     

James Foster 

James Foster a candidate in the 4th Ward City Council seat race in Joliet calls out Mayor candidate Andy Mihelich. Andy a candidate whom has yet to show any real solution or the ravaged east side of Joliet has yet to respond foster wrote the following letter to Mihelich.

Andrew Mihelich Mayoral Candidate......
Mr. Mihelich: The eastside of Joliet seems to be the forgotten zone of Joliet. While the council bickers our communities suffer from extensive lack in all areas from education to economic growth. When the arguing with the council stops the issues that continue to plague our communities still exist and still need to be addressed! Please get to the meat and potatoes. We dont need the ABC's anymore. What is YOUR plan to turn the eastside around? Do you have one? What proven track record of success do YOU have which generates economic growth where NONE currently exists. Give us your plan. Thanks, James Foster Candidate For District 4..

    This leaves us to believe Foster feels Andy mihelich is lacking care for his district. A bold move for the first time candidate and contractor. James foster entered the race for the first time stating " Our community needs a real change, and I feel I can be the backbone for our community". 

        Fosters own race well under way with four candidates involved. We will see come April if the newly recognized community advocate has what it take to beat current Incumbent,  Bettye Gavin, whom was appointed by Mayor Thomas Girrante last year.

18th Ward aldermanic candidate Chuks Onyezia makes an Impact

   

An 18th Ward candidate Chuks Onyezia has been producing a local paper for months now , circulating the first ever 18th ward news sources. As a candidate and local motivational figure, Chuks is looking to make an impact he says. As the weekend started up, candidate Chuks and his team were on a mission. Delivering papers to every home in the ward. Come snow or Sun Chuks and his team completed their mission.

     With the current approval ratings for the 18th Ward alderwoman down to almost 22% Chuks may be making the punch that counts for the win. If the Onyezia campaign continues, the 18th Ward may very well have a new alderman on the way come February 24th. Early voting starts on the 9th, meaning next Monday, and the political season is well underway. Chuk's being the only candidate working the field. As vote day rolls in were expecting him to take the seat by a 2 point lead.
