The LWV Whitewater Area is proud to announce that it will sponsor two candidate forums in March in advance of the April 7th Spring Election.

Whitewater Common Council Candidate Forum

Saturday, March 7, 1:30PM – 3:00PM

Whitewater City Hall Council Chambers, 312 W Whitewater Street

There are three open seats on the Council with two candidates running for each seat. The candidates are:  Aldermanic District 2 (Wards 9 & 10) Gavin Kelleher and Sean Liebherr;  Aldermanic District 4 (Wards 6, 7 & 8) Brian Schanen (incumbent) and Chuck Mills; and, Member at Large Aubrey Thompson and Orin Smith. All candidates have agreed to attend the forum.  

WUSD School Board Candidate Forum

Saturday, March 14, 1:00PM – 2:30PM

Whitewater City Hall Council Chambers, 312 W Whitewater Street

There are three open seats on the School Board and four candidates. The candidates are:  Stephanie Hicks (incumbent), Lisa Huempfner (incumbent), Christy Linse (incumbent), and Terri Jones. All candidates have agreed to attend the forum.

The League sponsors candidate forums for the benefit of YOU, the voter. At the forum, you will be asked to write your questions on cards distributed by the League. Questions are reviewed by question checkers, who sort them by topic and check for redundancy. We do not accept questions targeted to specific candidates. Questions prepared by the League board will be used only if there are not enough questions provided by residents in attendance at the forum.  

Both forums will be moderated by League member Karl Brown, Associate Professor of History at UW-Whitewater.
