The Primary Election is being held to replace former Mayor John Dickert who stepped down in July to take a job with a group representing Great Lakes Mayors. Voters say they want a leader who can lead Racine during an important chapter in the city's history. 

"We need as much as we can get for Racine because we are in a depressed economy right now. I think this will help us," said voter David Szabo.
