I’m Proud of My Ward

The 21st Ward delivered more votes for Lewis Reed than any other ward in north St. Louis that did not have a contested aldermanic race. With nothing else on the ballot, the 21st Ward delivered 773 votes for Reed.
The ward’s current committeeman, Arthur “Chink” Washington, and its alderman, Bennice Jones King, broke with nearly every other northside elected official and endorsed incumbent Jim Shrewsbury.
The only other ward in the city that delivered more votes for Reed and did not have a contested aldermanic race was the 28th Ward with 781 votes, just 8 more than the 21st.
