Former West Siders do battle in Northwest Side legislative race

I voted in February for one of my two old West Side friends in Illinois' 10th District state senate primaries, the winning Democrat, attorney John Mulroe.
The other one, Brian Doherty -- who had regularly gotten my vote, beginning with his first four-year term on Chicago's City Council, when he ousted former powerhouse Roman Pucinski in 1991 -- didn’t need it this time because the city's still-sole Republican alderman was unopposed in the GOP primary.
My two fellow 1970s St. Angela Elementary graduates are fighting it out for the seat held by retiring James DeLeo, D-Chicago, the Illinois senate's assistant majority leader, who has been a legislator since 1984.
Fortunately, in the November general election I won't have to choose between Mulroe and Doherty, because I recently moved from their Northwest Side battleground to southwest-suburban Berwyn.
