District 5:

-

In a showdown between two MPS teachers, Marcelia Nicholson defeated Michael Glabere to replace Supervisor Martin Weddle, who did not seek re-election.

David Sartori of Cudahy, a retired state parole officer and former Greenfield alderman, beat Tony Bloom of South Milwaukee. Bloom was owner of the former PJ’s Variety Store in South Milwaukee. The winner will replace Supervisor Patricia Jursik, who did not seek re-election.

Dan Sebring of Milwaukee defeated Patricia Najera of Milwaukee, an appointed member of the Milwaukee City Plan Commission since 1999. Sebring, owner of Sebring Garage LLC, was endorsed by former Supervisor Mark Borkowski. Borkowski resigned last September to become a Milwaukee alderman.

Seven incumbent supervisor­s were unopposed: District 1 Supervisor Theodore Lipscomb Sr. of Glendale, the board chair; District 4 Supervisor Marina Dimitrijev­ic of Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborho­od; District 6 Supervisor James Schmitt of Wauwatosa; District 10 Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde of Milwaukee; District 12 Supervisor Peggy Romo West of Milwaukee; District 13 Supervisor Willie Johnson Jr. of Milwaukee; and District 15 Supervisor Eddie Cullen of Milwaukee.

After the April election, supervisor­s will be paid an annual salary of $24,295, less than half the current base pay of $50,679. The Milwaukee County Board chair’s annual salary will drop from $71,412 to $36,442. Milwaukee County supervisor­s’ terms in office will be reduced from four years to two beginning in April, under a 2013 state law known as Act 14.

In Branch 45, the race was too close to call Tuesday night. Havas, 47, formerly an assistant prosecutor in Children’s Court, was appointed by Walker to the job in August, replacing Rebecca Bradley, who had been appointed in May to the Court of Appeals, before being promoted to the Supreme Court in October.

Kies, 50, has been in private practice for nearly 25 years, representi­ng clients in areas from family to administra­tive law in courts from municipal to federal.

In Branch 31, Rifelj lost to Dugan, an attorney who has served on county and city ethics boards. Rifelj is a former assistant public defender in Children’s Court who was appointed in December.

The winners will serve six-year terms.
