Womble faced incumbent Eugene Gross in a run-off
lection held Oct. 13.
"We've been hearing all day, comments like, 'How
nany more times do we have to go? 1 thought we did it
he last time,' so we're just trying to make sure that
veryonc gets out to the polls.
Womble's support continued, however, and he will
epresent the city's most racially mixed ward.
Womble ran on a platform calling for:
-Stricter Enforcement of existing housing codes.
-Adequate police and fire protection.
-Concern for people in establishing priorities.
-Meaningful citizen input.
-No raising of property taxes.
Other victors in the aldermanic race are Ernestine
Vilson (South), Lynne Harpe (Southwest), Bob Norhington
(West), and Martha Wood (Northwest).
