The results are in, and the winner was democracy.
Turnout for Tuesday’s election was terrific, as more than 63 percent of registered voters cast ballots in South Milwaukee.
Here are local results for top races …

I want to thank all of our election workers and the clerk’s staff for their efforts today — and thank all of the voters for stepping up.
It’s exciting to see turnout like this. It’s democracy in action.
