Impact analysis
This race won’t directly change city finances, but the winner will help set Ward 1 spending and tax priorities.
Neighborhoods keep a dedicated voice on the council if wards are preserved.
If seats go at-large, critics say neighborhoods could lose their voice and campaigns could be swamped by outside money.
