As is reported in another Banner post, the school district has a very crowded race for the April 4 school board election. Barring any write-in campaigns, the city, on the other hand, will have only one contested race, for Municipal Judge, where there will be two candidates on the ballot. Consequently there will be no primary election on February 21 for city races, but the school board primary will reduce the number of candidates from twelve to six.
Per City Clerk Michele Smith, the following persons have filed as candidates by the January 3 deadline for City of Whitewater roles:
Aldermanic District 1
Incumbent Carol McCormick is not running.
David Stone, 303 W. Ann Street, is the only candidate.
Brian Schanen, 1199 E. Bluff Road, #203, had filed paperwork but withdrew on January 3 due to having entered into a contract to purchase a home in another district. Schanen, by the way, filed on the same date as a candidate for School Board.
Aldermanic District 3
Incumbent Brienne Brown, 156 N. Fremont Street, is running unopposed.
Aldermanic District 5
Incumbent Greg Majkrzak is not running.
Neil Hicks, 1254 Tower Hill Pass, is the only candidate.
Councilmember at Large
Incumbent Lisa Dawsey Smith, 273 N. Fremont Street, is running unopposed.
Municipal Judge
Two candidates:
Art Coleman, 403 S. Whiton Street
Incumbent Patrick Taylor, 129 N. Esterly Avenue
