Sux, this is too funny; I love having this back & forth with 'cha!
So let me get this straight...You're willing to vote for someone, who has never spent a day in office for "Mayor" of the City of Waukegan, but not willing to vote for that same person as an "Alderman" for the City of Waukegan?
If you ask my humble opinion I'd want someone to begin their time in office in a lesser position (Alderman), then, after they got their feet wet, and vetted themselves with their citizens, vote for them for Mayor, if and only if they had proven themselves worthy.
I also agree with you...Mrs. Link would make a fabulous Mayor and we'd vote for her then too.
Honestly though, I'd have a very hard time voting for someone for mayor who did not have one day of elected experience under their belt. Waukegan is too fragile and "on the verge" of so much change (either for the good or for the bad).
Everyone stay safe during this crazy winter weather!!
