Continuing our spring election coverage, we turn to Common Council District 19 on Madison’s west side.

Incumbent alder John Guequierre has held the seat since 2024, unanimously elected by his peers after the previous alder Kristen Slack resigned from office.

He faces one challenger this spring in former council member Anthony Nino Amato.

West side voters will select their next alder on April 1st.

We sat down with alder John Guequierre and Anthony Nino Amato to discuss their top issues, their vision for the city of Madison, and how they plan to communicate with their constituents.
