Profiling the candidates

In a Feb. 27 primary, Champaign voters will narrow a field of nine candidates for the three contested at-large city council seats. Voters will be asked to choose three candidates; the six top vote-getters advance to the April 17 consolidated election.

The News-Gazette submitted questions on several city issues to the candidates, and eight of nine responded. Freddie Gordon, 109 E. Church St., did not respond.

Primary candidates include incumbents Thomas A. "Tom" Bruno and Giraldo Rosales, council appointee Deborah Frank Feinen and challengers Bill Glithero, Patricia Avery, Karen B. Foster, Annette B. Williams, Michael Henley and Gordon.
