Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin on Sunday announced the three finalists for the city’s Ward 7 aldermanic seat, according to a news release.
The three candidates, all from Aurora, are: Alex Arroyo, an East Aurora School Board member; Diana Barajas Gonzales, an entrepreneur and victim-rights advocate; and Brandon Tolliver, an insurance underwriter.
Irvin will make his final recommendation to the Aurora City Council before a Sept. 5 vote at a special meeting. The full city council must approve the new alderman.
The Ward 7 seat became vacant after the death of Alderwoman Scheketa Hart-Burns on June 19.
