Five village residents are running for two Village Board seats, which means a primary election will be held in February.

Wednesday was the last day for candidates to declare candidacy for the Village Board and School Board in the April 2 election.

The five candidates running for village trustee are incumbent Trustee Jay Miller, Robert Crawford, Kenneth Wysocky, Carl Fuda and Kevin McMahon. 

Because there are five candidates, the village will hold a primary election on Feb. 19 that will narrow the field to four candidates for the spring election on April 2. Trustees serve three-year terms and earn $600 annually.

For the Whitefish Bay School Board, two candidates – incumbent Cheryl Maranto and Kristin Yunker, have filed paperwork to run for two open School Board seats. School Board terms are three years long. The salary for president is $1,250, and the salary for a member is $1,200.
