We Re Pretty Sure Somebody S Going To Become Alderman Of The Seventh Ward

• John H. White/Sun-Times
• Seventh Ward alderman Natashia Holmes will have to survive a ballot challenge and nine opponents to hold onto her seat.

If she can stay on the ballot, Seventh Ward alderman Natashia Holmes faces a crowded field of challengers, including Keiana Barrett, who served as former alderman Sandi Jackson’s chief of staff.

Holmes didn’t return calls for comment. Neither did Barrett.

Yet there are stretches of the ward “where nothing exists. No pharmacy, no grocery store, nothing,” says candidate Shonda “Shonnie” Curry.
