Primary in Davenport's 6th Ward

Residents of Davenport's 6th ward will begin the process of choosing a new alderman Tuesday. For the primary election, five candidates are on the ballot to replace Jeff Justin who resigned last summer to take a new job in Florida.

Even though the two receiving the most votes will advance to the November general election, voters are reminded they can mark their ballot for only one candidate - not two. 

The five are Richard Clewell, Dale Gilmour, Ben Jobgen, Sean Liddell, and Chris Webster. 

 
Polls will be open in Davenport's 6th ward on Tuesday from 7 am until 8 pm.  
 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
