MILWAUKEE, WI – On Tuesday, February 14, County Executive David Crowley will formally call for a special election to fill the vacancy in the 14th Supervisory District. According to state statute, signatures to appear on the ballot cannot be collected until the formal call is made.
“As a county, it is important that we do all we can to ensure that all residents are fairly, justly, and equitably represented on the County Board of Supervisors,” said County Executive David Crowley. “Calling a special election ensures that the seat is filled this year and that the constituents of the 14th do not have to go an entire year without a democratically elected representative serving as a voice for their interests on the County Board.”
The special election primary to replace recently retired County Board Supervisor Dyango Zerpa will be part of the General Elections on April 4, 2023, with a special general election held on May 2.
Individuals interested in running for the vacant seat in the 14th Supervisory District must complete and turn in nomination papers to the Milwaukee County Election Commission by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7, 2023.
