Continuing our spring election coverage, we turn to Common Council District 7 on Madison’s southwest side.

Current alder Nasra Wehelie isn’t running for another term, after serving for four years on the council.

Her husband Abdirahman Siad is vying to take her place this spring and faces one opponent in Badri Lankella. Southwest side voters will select their next alder on April 1st.

We sat down with Abdirahman Siad and Badri Lankella to discuss their top issues, their vision for the city of Madison, and how they plan to communicate with their constituents.
