Two challengers have obtained declaration of candidacy forms and have begun collecting the required signatures to run for seats on the Whitewater Common Council, according to information released Friday by City Clerk Michele Smith.
The election will be held in April, 2023.
They are David Stone, 303 W. Ann Street, who will be running for a seat in the city’s Aldermanic District 1, and Neil Hicks, 1254 Tower Hill Pass, who will be running for a seat in the city’s Aldermanic District 5.
As of Friday, both challengers will be running unopposed as incumbents in both districts, Carol McCormick, in Aldermanic District 1, and Greg Majkrzak, in Aldermanic District 5, have said they will not seek another term.
Incumbent Lisa Dawsey Smith, who represents the city at large, has submitted the required signatures to gain ballot access. Michele Smith said the signatures are currently under review.
Also in the process of gathering signatures is Municipal Judge Patrick Taylor who is planning to run for another term as Whitewater’s municipal judge, Michele Smith said.
Aldermanic District 3 incumbent Brienne Brown has said she plans to run in April but has not yet obtained paperwork, the city clerk said.
