Village Board Incumbents Keep Seats

Greendale Village Board incumbents Carl Genz and Ronald Barbian won re-election Tuesday.

According to unofficial results, Barbian tallied 41 percent of the vote (2,192 votes) while Genz had 35 percent (1,906 votes). Challenger Jason Cyborowski pulled in 23 percent (1,227 votes).

Incumbents also prevailed in the race for Greendale School Board. All results are unofficial until certified by the Board of Canvassers.

Barbian, 59, is a vice president at BMO Financial Group. He touted his six years of experience on the Village Board, saying the village has been able to keep taxes relatively steady during that time.

Genz said he also wanted to continue his efforts to minimize taxes in Greendale. The 56-year-old semi-retired carpenter was first elected to the board in 2010.

Cyborowski, 34, is a three-year resident of Greendale. He is vice president of J&J Contractors and a real estate salesperson in Shorewest Realtors' Greendale office.

He said it was time for "the younger generation to step up and get involved in growing and preserving the Village."
