Theodore “Ted” Williams The questions were about a wide range of issues, LGBT, HIV/AIDS, minimum wage, crime, youth experiencing homelessness, and more. Some questions did not have a yes/or no or “correct” answer, but involved more nuance ALDERMAN - 10th WARD and detailed narrative answers. Therefore, this cycle we are rating candidates on an A-F scale, not by numbers. John A. Pope (incumbent) Y Readers will note not very many were below a “C” because those candidates likely did not even bother to respond Susan Sadlowski-Garza Y Y Y to a survey from an LGBT newspaper. One surprising “C” was 3rd Ward Ald. , who noted her opposition Richard L. Martinez, Jr. to marriage equality, despite being progressive on most other questions. Frank J. Corona Also this year, we are doing something different, since some candidates really took the time to explain their Samantha M. Webb positions in detail. We will be posting all surveys, as turned in by candidates, on our website.
