Rice Not Seeking Re-Election in 2012

North Shore supervisor files notice of non-candidacy.

Milwaukee County Supervisor Joseph Rice, who represents much of the North Shore, has announced that he will not run for re-election in 2012. “Serving the people of the 6th District has been an honor and privilege and I am grateful to the people I represented for putting their faith and confidence in me," Rice said in a press release. "However I never intended public service to be my career and look forward to seeking new challenges and a new path." This comes with little suprise after a vote in August reduced the size of the County Board from 19 to 18 — eliminating Rice's seat. His district includes all of Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, River Hills and Bayside, as well as parts of Glendale and Milwaukee. The plan will divvy up the existing …
