WI: Madison's quiet mayoral race is about to get louder

Less than a month out from Madison’s primary election on Feb. 21, four candidates are running for mayor with, so far, a relatively quiet campaign trail.

That could start to change Monday night, when a town hall will offer the first chance for three of the candidates — those who made it onto the ballot — to debate each other on issues such as public safety, Bus Rapid Transit, the city’s housing shortage and more.

Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway announced her reelection bid in mid-November, shortly after former Madison School Board President Gloria Reyes announced she planned to run for the office. Scott Kerr, a long-time technician with the city Traffic Engineering Division, is also in the race.

On Jan. 16, Daniel Howell announced on Instagram he is running for mayor as a write-in candidate after missing the deadline to file nomination forms because of his winter graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
