As was previously announced on the Banner, “Turnout in the City of Whitewater for the Spring general election on April 5 was steady but not overwhelming, with 1376 votes cast. Per the unofficial results … Jim Allen defeated Chuck Mills by a very comfortable margin to retain his seat as Council Member at Large. Al Stanek also beat Curt Knull by a large margin to succeed longtime supervisor Jerry Grant on the Walworth County Board of Supervisors, District 4. Lukas Schreiber was elected to his first full term representing Aldermanic District 2 with nine votes, and Jill Gerber, running unopposed to represent District 4, received 331 votes. According to City Clerk Michele Smith, this will be the first time in history that the Council has had a majority of female members, by a margin of 4 to 3.”
