CHICAGO: Candidates for 1st Ward alderperson talk crime, affordability, transparency

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Less than 24 hours before polls open with major decisions on the ballot, will 1st Ward residents re-elect the incumbent? Or will they bring a former alderperson back to office?

Or go with an entirely new face?

Morning Insider Lauren Victory takes us inside that four-way race.

Wicker Park and Logan Square are among the neighborhoods the four candidates running for 1st Ward alderperson want to represent.

Incumbent Daniel La Spata, Attorney Sam Royko and Community Activist Stephen "Andy" Schneider sat down with CBS2 to discuss their positions on issues such as crime and gentrification. Twice, we had an interview set up with former alderperson Proco "Joe" Moreno but ultimately, he answered our questions via email.
