Voters Head to the Polls for Primary Election

Today is the primary to decide which candidates will proceed to the April 5 general election for both the state Supreme Court and the mayor of Muskego. Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm.

On the state level, voters will choose amongst three candidates challenging incumbent Justice David T. Prosser Jr., who has served on the state's high court for 12 years. The challengers are: JoAnne F. Kloppenburg, who has been a litigator and prosecutor at Wisconsin’s Department of Justice since 1989; Joel Winnig, an attorney for more than 30 years; and Maria Stephens, the Appellate Division director for the State Public Defender's office.

On the local level, Mayor John R. Johnson is not running for re-election and three candidates are vying for his job: Kathy Chiaverotti, Scott Dickmann, and Luke Hudock. Chiaverotti is the current executive director of the Muskego Chamber of Commerce, a Waukesha County Supervisor, and a former city councilperson. Dickmann and Hudock are both local businessmen running for office for the first time.

The top two vote-getters in both elections will advance to the April 5 general election.
