Below are responses to surveys conducted by the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board as part of our endorsement process for the February 2019 races for Chicago aldermen. There are 50 wards, though not all races are contested. We asked candidates to tell us about themselves, list their qualifications for office and respond to policy questions. Their answers are in their own words. The editorial board conducts additional interviews and research before making endorsements. Links to endorsements will also appear here as they are published.
