Coggs, Alderwoman Chantia Lewis, Alderman Michael J. Murphy, Alderman Mark Borkowski, Alderman Scott Spiker, Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic and Alderman Russell W. Stamper, II April 19, 2022
Today, we proudly voted for Alderman José Pérez to serve as the next President of the Milwaukee Common Council. We want to extend our congratulations to President Pérez on this historic day as he becomes the first Latino/Latinx person to ever serve in this position.
The leadership within the City has seen much turnover in recent months, and we are hopeful that these new leaders will bring forward fresh ideas and creative solutions that will benefit our residents. President Pérez is taking the helm, just about a week after our city witnessed the inauguration of our first elected Black mayor, Cavalier Johnson!
We are excited about this new era in Milwaukee, and look forward to working together with this diverse leadership to make our city the best it can be.
