April 4th is a busy day in Illinois as many cities, towns and villages have their municipal elections. Four of the largest cities in the state have mayoral races that day; Aurora (200,661 pop), Rockford City (148,278 pop), Peoria City (115,070), and Waukegan City (88,475 pop). I have blogged about the Peoria City race in which Couri Thomas is challenging the incumbent, which you can find here. So now let us take a look at the other three cities.
