Updated on 12/24/23 at 1:00 a.m. to reflect the passing of James D. Allen.
The following three seats on the Common Council will be up for election on April 2, 2024. Candidate information was provided by City Clerk Karri Anderberg.
Aldermanic District 2 (Wards 9 & 10) – Currently held by Lukas Schreiber, who has filed a certificate of noncandidacy. Orin Smith, 901 W. Starin Rd., #502A, has filed nomination papers.
Aldermanic District 4 (Wards 6, 7 & 8) – Currently held by Jill Gerber, who had not filed a certificate of noncandidacy by Thursday morning, December 21. Since that notice was due to be filed by that date if an incumbent does not plan to run, it is likely that Gerber intends to run, but The Whitewater Banner has not received a response to its email inquiry to her.
Brian Schanen, 441 S. Buckingham Blvd., has submitted nomination papers for District 4.
Council Member at Large – Was held by the late James D. Allen, who passed away unexpectedly on or about December 23. See this article.
