On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, Milwaukee voters found many options beyond the high-profile Wisconsin Supreme Court race on their spring 2023 election ballot.
All city voters found options for a new municipal judge and new citywide school board member following the resignation of longtime judge Derek Mosley and the decision not to run again by school board president Bob Peterson.
Approximately 120,000 northside residents were able to elect a new Milwaukee Common Council representative, adding three new voices to the 15-member body and eliminating the last remaining vacancies following a period of great turnover. Winners will need to run again for a full, four-year term next spring.
In addition to the at-large seat, four of the eight district- based Milwaukee Public Schools Board of Directors seats were on the ballot. Only two of the four were contested. Winners will serve a four-year, part-time term as policymakers for the state’s largest school district.
On the city’s near south side, the process to replace Dyango Zerpa on the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors is just beginning. A three-way race will narrow the field to two in advance of a May special election.
Nine Milwaukee County Circuit Court bench seats were on the ballot, but none of the incumbent judges faced challengers. Municipal Judge Phillip M. Chavez ran unopposed for reelection.
The election results include all of the races decided entirely within the City of Milwaukee, with data provided by the unofficial results posted by the Milwaukee County Election Commission.
