Sugden was a live guest during the CBS 58 News at 4 p.m. which is responding to viewer requests for more live, unedited interviews with the people who shape our community.

\"I'm not a fan of the proposal. I think there's more we could do,\" Sugden said.

\"I don't want to lose the Bucks. I went to ten games. I would like the owners to come to the forefront and help us out more as a community. I think we can get more.\" 

Sugden who declared his candidacy before the sudden death of Alderman Joe Dudzik says is running a campaign that is focusing on public safety, fiscal responsibility, business development and education.
