Kenosha News endorsement

I was getting phone calls at 5:00am this morning telling me that I received the endorsement of the Kenosha News.

I have a couple of friends who were quite excited.

This is great news indeed.

District 5: Kathy Carpenter. This district, which includes the area around Bradford High School, has had the same alderman since 1994, when Kurt Sinclair was first elected. Since then he has not had an opponent until this year when he faced two challengers in the primary in February. Kathy Carpenter and Sinclair survived the primary to compete in Tuesday’s election. Perhaps the reason for the opposition after all these years is the challengers’ sense that Sinclair, now the principal of Round Lake Area High School in Illinois, is less engaged with the district than in the past. While we have advocated keeping experience on the City Council in most districts, in this case we see an opportunity for a positive change. Carpenter has enthusiasm for politics and good ideas for the district. We recommend a vote for Carpenter.
