HYDE PARK — The Planning Coalition will host a forum Saturday with four of the eight candidates running for 7th Ward alderman.

Incumbent Natashia Holmes and challengers Keiana Barrett, LaShonda Curry and Gregory Mitchell are confirmed to be at the 1 p.m. forum at the Quarry 75 Events Center, 2423 E. 75th St.

The Planning Coalition is promising a civil discussion between candidates who have already lobbed accusations of voter intimidation and forging signatures to get on the ballot.

Joseph Moseley III, Flora “Flo” Digby, Bernie Riley and Margie Reid are also running for 7th Ward alderman, but have not yet confirmed they will participate in the forum.
