Candidates   Voters Forum


In the February primary election, Jake Krueger and Deena Liska had the highest number of votes for 5th District alderman and will advance to the spring general election. District 5 incumbent Joe Poshepny had withdrawn from the race for health reasons, but not in time for his name to be taken off the primary ballot.
 
Deena Liska, 42, is a long-time New Berlin resident. A homeowner, Deena has lived in our community 32 years and is a graduate of New Berlin Public Schools. She has a Bachelors Degree in communications and is employed as an injury prevention educator.  She is married and has 3 daughters.  Deena has served as a volunteer New Berlin firefighter and EMT and has also been actively involved in PTO, Booster Clubs, Girl Scouts, and NBAA (coach).      
 
Jake Krueger, 23, is a UW-Whitewater  student who will be graduating in May with a Bachelors Degree-- major in public policy administration.  Jake is a graduate of New Berlin Public Schools. He has 14 years in the community. He gained insight and experience regarding City of New Berlin operations, departments and budgets when he did an internship at New Berlin City Hall.
 
District 5 is fortunate to have these two articulate, civic-minded, and well-qualified candidates running for the aldermanic seat.
 
Three of the City of New Berlin's  incumbent aldermen will face challengers in the spring election.
 
We Care New Berlin feels it is time for change on the City Council and is not endorsing any incumbents in the April 6 election.
  The New Berlin Rotary Club is holding an Aldermanic Candidates Forum on March 27 from 1-3 pm at New Berlin West School, 18695 W. Cleveland Ave. All eight aldermanic candidates running in the April 6 general election have been invited. They are: District 1,  Alderman John Hopkins and  Dennis Friedrich; District 3,  Alderman Ron Seidl and David Jeske: District 5, Jake Krueger and Deena Liska; and District 7, Alderman Dave Ament and Kevin Zokan.
 
We Care New Berlin, an independent committe,  is supporting aldermanic candidates (District 3) David Jeske and (District 7) Kevin Zokan by independent disbursement. 
 
Why isn't the Candidates Forum being held at City Hall?  In 2006,  New Berlin Aldermen Dave Ament, Ken Harenda, John Hopkins and Paul Gallagher, voted to limit City Hall and City Cable Channel use to government units, thus prohibiting citizen groups from using our taxpayer-funded City Hall facilites. As a result, there have been no more Voters Forums at City Hall.   
 
Last year, We Care New Berlin supported Paul Lincoln Scheuble and Keith Hastings for New Berlin School Board.
We were saddened at the news that Paul Lincoln Scheuble, a former alderman and actively involved community resident, died on December 17, apparently of septicemia. 
Because only three people are running for the three open seats on the New Berlin School Board this year, there is no contest. So, We Care New Berlin is not endorsing School Board candidates in the April 6 election.The New Berlin School Board candidates are Tom David, Keith Hastings,and John Kegel (incumbent).
