Voters headed to the polls in April will find one candidate running for each of four seats due for reelection on the Whitewater Common Council.
Whitewater City Clerk Michele Smith earlier reported that two candidates would vie for an open Aldermanic District 1 seat held by incumbent Carol McCormick, who is not running for reelection.
After the close on Tuesday of the filing deadline for candidates to have their names appear on the April ballot, Smith reported that one candidate, Brian Schanen, had withdrawn from the race, citing as reason his purchase of a new home in Whitewater that is located outside of the Aldermanic District 1 boundary.
Schanen’s withdrawal leaves a single candidate, David Stone, 303 W. Ann St., running for the seat.
In Aldermanic District 3, incumbent Brienne Brown has filed the required paperwork and will run unopposed for reelection.
In Aldermanic District 5, newcomer Neil Hicks, 1254 Tower Hill Pass, will run unopposed for a seat held by incumbent Greg Majkrzak, who will not be seeking reelection.
Neil Hicks may be joined on the April ballot by his wife, Stephanie Hicks, who will be running for an at-large seat on the Whitewater Unified School District Board of Education.
In addition, voters will find incumbent Lisa Dawsey Smith’s name on the ballot. Smith will be running unopposed to retain her at-large seat.
