“I, Greg Majkrzak, am excited to announce my intention to run for the Whitewater City Council at-large position in the upcoming April election. I care deeply about our community and want to contribute to making it an even better place for all residents.

During my previous tenure as Alderperson for District 5, I worked diligently to serve my constituents by crafting and modifying ordinances to enhance Whitewater’s quality of life. Through collaborative efforts with city leadership, staff, legal counsel, and law enforcement, I spearheaded the successful passage of an ordinance permitting the use of golf carts and UTVs within city limits. As a member of the Finance Committee, I exercised fiscal responsibility by holding the council accountable to the established budget and seeking explanations for any budgetary deviations. In council meetings, I made it a priority to recognize and allow time for public comment so that all perspectives could be heard. My record demonstrates a commitment to transparency, fiscal prudence, public service, and policymaking that benefits all Whitewater residents.

In observing recent council meetings and trends, I believe there are opportunities for improvement in how the council collaborates, communicates, and conducts city business in a transparent manner.

If elected, my top priorities for the council will be:

Empowering the City Manager to effectively lead operations by focusing the council’s efforts on high-level governance through policymaking, rather than day-to-day administrative decision-making.
Working collaboratively with stakeholders to advance tangible, achievable solutions to Whitewater’s housing needs, including affordable housing and a diverse mix of housing options.
Promoting transparency, consistency, efficiency, and clarity in council and committee meetings through adherence to best practices for public deliberation and decision-making.

When you see my name, Greg Majkrzak, on the ballot next spring, please vote for me.”
