Apparently there’s a rumor going around town that renowned activist Karrie Alms is circulating petitions for an at-large seat on the City Council. Not true, says Alms.

Pearson is the Democrat candidate; Alms is running on the Republican ticket. The third district’s boundaries, according to the Peoria County website, are “Downtown and northeast along the river, with boundaries of Knoxville, Nebraska, and Glen Oak Park.”
