Alderman-at-Large William A. White has endorsed Marty Martinez in the upcoming special election for alderman.

The seat was vacated in October when state Rep. Denise Provost stepped down from her post to concentrate on her duties at the Statehouse. Provost endorsed Martinez last week.

Martinez will face former Ward 6 Alderman John M. Connolly and Robert Daut in the April 10 special election, with the top two finishers competing for the seat in the May 15 general election.
