Every candidate running for office will tell you how important it is to get out and vote. But do they walk the walk? Or just talk the talk. We examined the voting records of the mayoral and aldermanic candidates to see who votes and who does not.

The County maintains the records and they only go back to 1994, but that is enough to give a snapshot into each candidate. The party registration reflects their current party; and if they had been registered as an independent, it would not reflect a vote in a primary.

So, how did they do? Details can be viewed below, and downloaded here.
