  • Will Alton keep Goin? Mayoral race 2025 Pt. 1

    In this episode, we talk to Alton's current Mayor David Goins, a former cop, pastor, and school board member. We ask him about some of Alton's greatest issues such as homelessness, youth violence, tourism, AltonWorks, diversity, and his experience as Alton's first black mayor. This is the first part of a three-episode series interviewing the three men running for mayor of Alton in the upcoming April 1 election. We believe people should be more engaged with local civics, and part one is being informed. We did our best to ask the sorts of questions potential voters would find to be important in guiding their choices. Feel free to comment your opinions below, but keep it civil and help us and each other be more informed.
