Incumbent Adrian Ballesteros was unopposed in Ward 3, while Alderwoman Jessica Alonzo Cruz romped challenger Leslie Punte in Ward 1, beating her 146-71.

In Ward 2, Alderwoman Judith Rugg leads challenger Sol Sostre 164-135.

Alderman Marcos Tapia and challenger Arturo Santana are tied with 98 votes each in Ward 4.
