Next week on September 13, the city will host the Ward 7 primary election to determine the next candidate for Alderman.

Both feel that they have the expertise to unseat the incumbent, leading some to believe a contentious election might be afoot. The Somerville News sat down to interview all three candidates, so they might tell you in their own words what makes them the best choice.
