Incumbent aldermen are being challenged in the second, third, and fourth wards. In the third ward Marion Meginnis has four challengers.

Two candidates are challenging 2nd Ward Alderman Judith Lee, and 4th Ward incumbent Robby Ortiz.

Former 7th ward Alderman, Derek Cornette, is running again after being removed from office. Three candidates are running against him. Mayor Matson appointed Chris Jerome as Interim 7th Ward Alderman until the November general election. Jerome is not on the primary ballot.
