Werner Retains Aldermanic District 4

With an anticipated voter turnout of 25% within the city of Muskego today, local municipal races were being carefully watched.

Incumbent Alderman Keith Werner faced a challenge by Heidi Bootz-Lindhorst in District 4, however remained as alderman for the area that includes the downtown area.

Werner was glad for another term, stating "the constituents of District 4 have spoken. I am very grateful for the opportunity to continue my service to the District." 

Lindhorst had expressed her excitement about the race in an interview with Muskego Patch earlier Tuesday.

"I'm very excited about the opportunity to represent people," she said. Asked about her experiences on the campaign trail, she noted how welcoming and gracious residents were, often being invited into homes while out and about knocking on doors.

As the results came in, she said she still felt optimistic about her district and felt that her race helped improve the representation for District 4. Despite Werner's 520-381 victory she said she saw improvements in how the concerns of her district were being heard.

In the other municipal races taking place today, incumbent Aldermen Kert Harenda of District 2, Neome Schaumberg of District 6, and Noah Fiedler of District 7, were all running unopposed.
