Art Coleman has begun circulating nomination papers to have his name included as a candidate for Whitewater municipal judge on the upcoming April ballot.
Whitewater City Clerk Michele Smith released his name Thursday as among those in the process of collecting signatures.
According to a Facebook page, Coleman, 403 S. Whiton St., ran as a write-in candidate for the position of Whitewater municipal judge in 2019.
Introducing himself in 2019 to voters, he wrote: “I have 20 years with the state of Wisconsin working for the Department of Corrections. I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. My family has strong roots here in Whitewater. I believe I will be an asset to the people and the city of Whitewater.”
Once paperwork is submitted, Coleman will thus far be among those facing incumbent Judge Patrick Taylor who is also circulating nomination papers, according to the city clerk.
The General Spring Election will be held April 4, 2023.
Candidates have until 5 p.m. on Tuesday Jan. 3, 2023 to file a Declaration of Candidacy Form (EL-162) and a Nomination Papers for Nonpartisan Office form (EL-169) with the Whitewater city clerk’s office.
