City clerk candidates emphasize transparency, accountability in forum
City clerk candidates discussed building resident trust and improving Freedom of Information Act procedures in a Saturday panel.
The League of Women Voters of Evanston and the Evanston Public Library are partnering this week to co-sponsor a series of candidate forums in advance of February’s consolidated primary election. Josie Yanguas, a member of the League of Women Voters of Chicago, moderated Saturday’s virtual forum.
Stephanie Mendoza, a community outreach specialist and the only candidate on the ballot, said she wants Evanston to be a voting “powerhouse.” Mendoza said she values her skills as “a person who has been in the streets and knocked on every door and encouraged people to get out to vote.”
