Seven residents applied for appointment to the vacant 5th District Kenosha
County Board seat, County Board Chairman Monica M. Yuhas announced
today.
The close of business on Monday, July 22, was the deadline for interested
individuals to apply for the appointment.
The seven applicants, in alphabetical order, are: David Arrington, James
Kendall, Patrick Melman, William Merritt, Jason Ottum, Julia Robinson and
Tamara Weber.
Yuhas said interviews with all seven applicants will be scheduled prior to an
appointment being made at the Aug. 6 County Board meeting.
The individual appointed to the position will serve until a successor is elected
in the 2025 spring nonpartisan election. (The appointee may seek election at
that time, if he or she so chooses.)
This seat became vacant with the recent resignation of former Supervisor
Brian Thomas. The 5th District is located on the northwest side of the City of
Kenosha; a map of the district is available online at https://bit.ly/KCDist5.
