If Walker is nominated, it will have to be on the second ward ticket as he is no longer member of the third ward, which district he has already represented in the aldermanic chamber.

Moreover he is not a member of the Young Mems Republican club which organization will in all prob ability buck him unless he gets in the band wagon before the primaries.
