In Segment 5 of the Evanston Decides 2025 Candidate Forum, 4th Ward Incumbent Council Member Jonathan Nieuwsma and write-in candidate Meg Welch took the stage—offering two distinct perspectives and approaches to Evanston’s future.
What kind of leadership does the 4th Ward need? How do these candidates define progress, accountability, and representation? The differences are clear, but the choice is yours.
This is more than just a discussion—it’s a moment to listen, analyze, and decide. Your vote on April 1st will shape the direction of the ward and the city. Watch closely. Stay engaged. And most importantly, VOTE.
A huge thank you to both Jonathan Nieuwsma and Meg Welch for participating, to our panelists Shun Graves (Daily Northwestern), Alex Harrison and Duncan Agnew (Evanston Roundtable), to Lily Ogburn, Chief Editor of The Daily Northwestern, to Heidi Randhava, to Steven Rogers for hosting us in this historic space, and most of all, to the residents of Evanston for demanding real conversations.
