Aldermen represent the interests of their constituents within their Ward. All 10 Aldermen up the City Council, along with the Mayor, City Clerk and City Treasurer. Because the Alderpersons positions are part-time, the City has a full-time Council Coordinator who assists in facilitating conversations and communications between constituents, the Alderpersons and the City. When you want to support, propose or stop legislature in Springfield, your alderman is the first person to talk to.
