The longtime politician will replace Joe Sanfelippo, who replaced Staskunas in the State Assembly in the 15th District in the November election.
Updated 11:40 a.m. April 3 Veteran politician Tony Staskunas of West Allis has unofficially defeated entertainer and small business owner Tom Anthony of Greenfield in the race for the 17th District Milwaukee County Board Supervisor seat. Staskunas, 52, unofficially received 50 percent of the vote for a position whose constituents reside in four municipalities: Greenfield, Greendale, West Allis and Franklin.

While their backgrounds differ, six School Board candidates said they have something unique they can bring to the Greendale School Board.
With less than a week remaining until Tuesday's election, the six candidates vying for three positions on the Greendale School Board talked about the issues and what they would bring to the board during a forum Wednesday night. The forum contrasted two long-time incumbents in the race, Tom Slota and Victoria McCormick, with a recent appointee, Melanie Kuzmanovic, plus three residents trying to get on the school board for the first time: Roger Dalkin, Katie Mevis and Kathleen Wied-Vincent. Slota and McCormick spoke often of their long experience dealing with school district-related issues while on the school board — and, more importantly, the district's successful track record during that time. Slota, first elected in 1987, is the longest-…

Other than political experience, not much separates the three candidates when it comes to what they hope to see the Village accomplish in the future.
If you’re looking for a flashy candidate that has wildly different ideas from the rest of the field, you’ll have to look further than the Greendale Village Trustee race. That’s because for the most part, incumbents Ronald Barbian and Carl Genz and challenger Jason Cyborowski are on the same page. The trio is vying for a pair of available Village Board seats in the April 2 election, and about the only thing separating them is experience. Barbian is seeking a third term on the board and Genz a second; this is Cyborowski first attempt at an elected office. About 40 potential voters listened in as the three candidates weighed in on key issues facing the Village during a nearly two-hour forum in the multi-purpose room at Greendale High School …
