There will be five candidate names on the primary ballot for Madison mayor. The City Clerk’s office determined Wednesday that the city’s racial equity coordinator Toriana Pettaway fell one valid nomination signature short of the 200 needed to be on the ballot. Pettaway said she intends to run a write-in campaign.
Former Tenant Resource Center executive director and alder Brenda Konkel dropped out of the race this week.
