President of the Board of Aldermen Jim Shrewsbury, currently engaged in a tight primary contest with challenger Lewis Reed, easily won the endorsement last night of the 24th Ward Democratic Organization.
Helped by the support of the ward's alderman, Bill Waterhouse, and a crowd very friendly to his position opposing the BJC/Forest Park deal, Shrewsbury won the endorsement by a vote of 38-4 with one abstention. See our earlier story for video from the meeting.
Aldermen Steve Gregali (14th Ward) and Jennifer Florida (15th Ward) attended the meeting in support of Reed.
Shrewsbury will be looking to raise some cash this weekend with a fundraiser at Francois Cognac and Cigar Bar, 326 N. Vandeventer. The event is Saturday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Suggested donations range from $27 to $2007.
