Soglin welcomes challenges in third time around as Madison mayor

For more than 40 years, Paul Soglin – born and raised in Illinois – has been an almost constant presence in the city?s affairs. He was a leader of student demonstrations in the 1960s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, member of the city council, and later mayor over 14 years in two stints, one that began in 1973 and another that began in 1989.
