From top left, Kim Walz, Angela Clay, Marianne Lalonde, and from bottom left, Patrick Nagle, Roushaunda Williams and Michael Cortez. All are running for 46th Ward alderman.

In the six-way election battle to succeed retiring Ald. James Cappleman (46) on Feb. 28, most of the candidates started the year with tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash as candidates rack up large donations from labor groups, other elected officials and a third-party delivery app. The 46th Ward covers Uptown and portions of Lakeview.
