Miller, Fuda Elected to Whitefish Bay Village Board

Trustee Jay Miller has won re-election to the Whitefish Bay Village Board, and newcomer Carl Fuda has been elected to the board for the first time.

Miller and Fuda survived a four-way election that included Kevin McMahon and Kenneth Wysocky. Both Miller and Fuda had lawn signs peppered around the Bay in the weeks leading up to Tuesday's election.

When reached on Tuesday night, Miller, a four-year incumbent, said he appreciates the continued support from Whitefish Bay residents.

"I'm happy that I have an opportunity to serve another three years," he said. "I like coming up with solutions to difficult problems, and reaching a balanced approach to addressing them. That's what we have applied in the past and will continue to do in the future."

Fuda also said he appreciated the support from residents, and with 20 years of community involvement experience, said he will continue to work with community stakeholders to find solutions for the village.

“I hope that people are willing to tell me what they think, and that they are willing to listen to what I think, and that together we will move the village forward,” Fuda said.

Miller, 63, is a tax attorney and adjunct professor at UW-Milwaukee Lubar School of Business. A 22-year resident of Whitefish Bay, Miller was first elected trustee in 2009 to complete an unfinished term and again in 2010 to a full three-year term.

Fuda, 55, is active in Whitefish Bay Junior Duke Football, Whitefish Bay Gridiron Club and Friends of Bay Baseball. Fuda is a 30-year resident of Whitefish Bay and is a principal of investment management firm.
