John Walker, a candidate for Mayor of DeKalb, answered questions about his positions on the issues facing the city, including roundabouts, from Shaw Local’s Kelsey Rettke and Megann Horstead. Walker was unable to make our previous mayoral candidate forum, which is available in a separate podcast.

Walker is running for mayor against incumbent Cohen Barnes, Northern Illinois University educator Linh Nguyen, and NIU IT staffer Kouame Sanan.
