Continuing our spring election coverage, we turn to Common Council District 15 on Madison’s east side.

Current alder Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford has represented the area since 2023. She suspended her re-election campaign in January and backed her would-be challenger Ryan Koglin.

Koglin is a small business owner and the board president of the SASY Neighborhood Association.

Now essentially guaranteed a spot on the city council, Koglin sat down with us discuss his top issues, his vision for the city of Madison, and how he plans to communicate with his constituents.
