The District 2 Alder election decided Juliana Bennett and Colin Barushok will advance to the general election for Madison’s common council spots, with Bennett receiving 71% of the vote and Barushok receiving 22%.

In District 4, Alder Mike Verveer and Maxwell Laubenstein will advance to the general election after Samantha Givich dropped out of the race.

Public Service Commissioner Ellen Nowak not to return after term ends

The results of the primary leave one Democratic and one Republican candidate in the nonpartisan race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where the open seat would allow Democrats to flip the court that has remained with a conservative majority for the past 15 years.

The spring general election will take place April 4.

Editor’s Note: This article was edited to correct a fact error regarding the district Mike Verveer and Maxwell Laubenstein are contesting in. Verveer and Laubenstein are running for alder in District 4, not District 8.
