Jakubczyk Prevails in 1st District Aldermanic Race

Dan Jakubczyk has won re-election to the Oak Creek Common Council, gaining 56 percent of the vote against his challenger, Kathryn Michuda, in the city's 1st District.

Jakubczyk said he was "humbled" by the number of votes he received - 580, compared to 444 for Michuda - and hopes to live up to their expectations in the next two years.

"I would just like to thank the people of the 1^st District for having the confidence to re-elect me," he said. "I hope to prove that they did not do wrong."

"I guess I did enough right" in the first two years, he said. 

He said he looks forward to seeing the city continue to grow and working on several redevelopment projects already started.

Election results remain unofficial until certified by the Board of Canvassers, which meets Wednesday. 

The 1st District was the only contested Oak Creek Common Council race. 3rd District Alderman Steve Scaffidi and 5th District Alderman Ken Gehl ran unopposed and were elected to another term.
