Filling The Open Aldermanic Seat

My election as mayor leaves an open seat on the South Milwaukee City Council — and the council started the process to fill that vacancy Tuesday night.

The plan: As we’ve a couple of other times in recent years, the city will accept applications from interested Fourth District residents, who will then “interview” before the city council, and the city council will appoint someone from that group.

Learn more about the application process here. Applications must be returned by noon on Friday, April 25, with the city council meeting on April 29 to conduct the interviews and select a candidate.

The chosen candidate would take office May 6 and serve out the remainder of my term, coming up for re-election with the rest of the council on April 7, 2015.

I encourage you to apply. I have had plenty of people ask me how to get involved since the election. For Fourth District residents, this is one way to make a difference.
