The Affordable Housing Action Alliance has made spring candidate endorsements for City Council.
Decisions on who to endorse were made based on a candidate questionnaire that was a joint effort of Madison is for People, Madison Area Community Land Trust, Madison Bikes, Affordable Housing Action Alliance and Strong Towns Madison. All candidates that answered the questions, except three were endorsed. Personally, it was disappointing that with affordable housing being a main issue for candidates, that more candidates did not answer the questions.
The following candidates were endorsed by the Affordable Housing Action Alliance.
- District 2: Will Ochowicz
- District 3: Derek Field
- District 4: Eli Tsarovsky
- District 4: Mike Verveer
- District 6: Davy Mayer
- District 7: Badri Lankella
- District 8: MGR Govindarajan
- District 10: Yannette Figueroa Cole
- District 12: Julia Matthews
- District 14: Noah Lieberman
- District 16: Sean O’Brien
- District 18: Carmella Glenn
- District 19: John Guequierre
The rest of the spring common council candidates did not bother to answer the question except the three we did not endorse.
The Affordable Housing Action Alliance (AHAA) was formed in 1997 to urge action, not just talk about affordable housing.
