Whitewater Common Council to see race for one at-large seat in April

By Kim McDarison

The Whitewater Common Council will have at least one race for a single at-large seat which will be decided in April. 

Two candidates for the at-large seat, incumbent Jim Allen, 215 E. Clay St., and challenger Chuck Mills, 336 S. Whiton St., have successfully submitted paperwork with the city clerk’s office to have their names appear on the spring election ballot. 

Among other changes, council president Lynn Binnie filed a statement of non-candidacy in December. Binnie holds a seat representing the city’s Aldermanic District No. 4. 

Jill Gerber, 234 Pleasant St., has successfully submitted paperwork with the city clerk’s office and her name will appear on the April ballot. Gerber is looking to fill the open seat vacated by Binnie. 

Gerber made known her intentions to run for the seat late last year, submitting an announcement to Fort Atkinson Online on Dec. 16. 

She will be running unopposed. 

In the city’s Aldermanic District No. 2, incumbent Lukas Schreiber, 375 N. Harmony Lane., having successfully submitted his paperwork with the city clerk’s office, will be running unopposed. 

A general spring election is scheduled for April 5.
