Congratulations Chief Lipski!
Joint Statement from members of the Milwaukee Common Council: Alderman Cavalier Johnson, Alderman Ashanti Hamilton, Alderman Robert J. Bauman, Alderwoman Nikiya Dodd, Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa, Alderwoman Chantia Lewis, Alderman Michael J. Murphy, Alderman Mark A. Borkowski, Alderman José G. Pérez, Alderman Scott Spiker and Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic
Last night the Fire and Police Commission voted to appoint Aaron Lipski to the position of fire chief, and we couldn’t be more supportive of this decision.
It is also clear Chief Lipski has the backing of the community, something that should not be understated. His candidacy was supported by a variety of groups including Advocate Aurora Health, Community Advocates, Legal Aid Society and unions representing his department’s personnel, among others.
Again we congratulate you Chief Lipski on this well-deserved appointment, and we look forward to our continued work together in the name of making Milwaukee the best city it can be.
