Meet Michael Doerr, Waukesha Town Board Chair Candidate

WAUKESHA, WI — Wisconsin's Spring 2019 general election will be held Tuesday, April 2, 2019. Voters will see a jam-packed ballot featuring a multiple local and a few statewide races.

Town of Waukesha resident Michael Doerr says he's running for Town Board Chair in order to put the board back on the right track.

"I believe that again I have the skill set to restore civility among members of the board," he told Patch. "Now with over 33 years of experience working in a union environment - more than 20 year of that in corporate management - I believe I can restore open, constructive and productive debate among members of the board."

Name:

Michael Doerr

Occupation:

Operations Area Manager

Place of Residence:

Town of Waukesha

Why I'm running:

I am running to restore civility to the Town Board and preserve the current low tax levy.

Top issues as I see them:

I have served the citizens of the Town of Waukesha as a town board member since 2014. In the last four years we have accomplished tax cuts, improvement in services and a 5 year capital plan. Much of this was done with a united board, but where differences were, there was open, thoughtful and civil debate. All options were discussed and respected; a vast and significant difference from what had taken place in the years preceding my election in 2014.

Over the past 18-24 months some relationships on the board have become fractured, augmentative and counterproductive. Open bickering and personal attacks have again become commonplace among various members of the board. I believe that again I have the skill set to restore civility among members of the board. Now with over 33 years of experience working in a union environment - more than 20 year of that in corporate management - I believe I can restore open, constructive and productive debate among members of the board.
