Update: Be sure to vote in my poll on this. And here is a sample ballot.
With all of the big-name elections coming up this year — from the gubernatorial recall to the presidential election — it’s easy to forget that the spring primaries are on Tuesday.
Voters heading to the polls in South Milwaukee will see just one race on the ballot: Milwaukee County Court, Branch 17. This is because none of the incumbents running for re-election in the city have competition in 2012, and the South Milwaukee School Board race (in which three people are running for two seats) won’t require a primary.
Of course, other communities have contested primaries, including Oak Creek, which will see primary elections for mayor, clerk and alderman on the ballot.
Christopher Lipscomb Sr., Nelson Phillips III and Carolina Stark are running for the Branch 17 judgeship. Phillips is the incumbent.
And don’t forget that the City Council meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday this week due to the election.
