Continuing our spring election coverage, we turn to Common Council District 5 on Madison’s near west side.

Incumbent alder Regina Vidaver faces one challenger in Ulrike Dieterle.

With just two candidates in the race, District 5 will skip the primary next week and west side voters will select their next alder on April 1st.

We sat down with incumbent alder Regina Vidaver and Ulrike Dieterle to discuss their top issues, their vision for the city of Madison, and how they plan to communicate with their constituents.
