ST. CHARLES – Second Ward aldermanic candidate Art Lemke is vying for the St. Charles City Council seat that was once his.

The two-term incumbent, Cliff Carrignan, defeated Lemke in 2005. Lemke’s 2011 bid for the other 2nd Ward seat was unsuccessful; he lost to Rita Payleitner.

Carrignan, who will be 58 by the April 9 election, is a sales manager for an industrial cutting tool company. He chairs the Planning and Development Committee and has chaired the Government Operations Committee. He is running for re-election because there are issues he wants addressed.
