I smiled when I looked at the return address, and anxious to see what the topic was, I read about a problem I was able to quickly address for this anonymous constituent. Keep those letter coming. I’ll do my best.

Please read this information closely for special instructions, but the good news is that we can move those home cleaning tasks up a notch.

I was sworn in as 2nd District Alderman Friday afternoon in an impromptu but necessary way at city hall.

Once again, thanks to all who supported me. And let’s stay in touch.

I really look forward to serving Kenosha’s Second District for the next two years, so thanks to everyone who supported my campaign.

And I want to stay in touch with all of you. Don’t hesitate to contact me.

Election results will be announced on April 13.

The final set of 100 portraits by local photographer Kevin Poirier reflecting Kenosha’s racial diversity on the faces of Frank and Southport elementary school students was pasted up Thursday on a spacious lot in the downtown district.

Kenosha Creative Space’s Francisco Loyola and Steve Hawkins worked for two days hanging the 24″ x 36″ prints provided by the University of Wisconsin – Parkside on the side of a building at 5811 6th Ave.

Poirier was struck by the kids’ lack of awareness or concern about their racial identity. They just saw themselves as kids. Loyola says he truly believes these kids are Kenosha’s future and wondered which one will be our next Mayor.

Our future is even harder to predict these days, which makes looking at these portraits a joy.

Check them out.

What’s the Creative Space’s right hand man up to? Why is he smiling and where is he?

City Hall announced today that voting poll staff shortages will consolidate some of the city’s voting polls on Election Day, April 7.

There are now 26 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Kenosha County with 3 of those individuals being hospitalized. This information was released Saturday afternoon, March 28 by Kenosha County’s Health Officer/Director Jen Freiheit, PhD.

All of you have until April 2 to request an absentee ballot through myvote.wi.gov

It took me just a few minutes to do so last week. Just be sure you are able to attach a scan or photo of your Wisconsin drivers license. Voting absentee is the surest method to stay safe from spreading or contracting the COVID-19 virus that has disrupted our daily lives.
