Become a Commissioner and make an impact on poverty in Milwaukee County.

SDC is seeking candidates to fill two seats for the Board of Commissioners. Candidates will be up for election for the community representative seats that serve on behalf of districts 1 and 2 comprised of low-income residents living in Milwaukee County. Members of the community interested in having their name appear on the ballot must meet requirements for candidacy.

To Become a Candidate:

To have a candidate’s name appear on the ballot, candidates are required to collect at least 50 signatures from residents in their district. Candidates are urged to collect at least 50 additional signatures in case of discounted names. Nomination forms used to collect signatures can be picked up beginning Friday February 21, 2020.  They can be picked up at SDC’s Receptionist Area, located at 1730 W North Avenue between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Signatures are to be collected and returned to SDC’s Executive Department no later than Monday March 9, 2020 by 5:00 p.m.

A notarized affidavit must also accompany each of your completed nomination forms.  You must have the affidavit notarized prior to filing the papers (50 signatures and affidavit) with SDC.  Candidate(s) can be written in on the ballot on Election Day. 

Your Biographical Information application (Bio) & Photo (head shot) must be completed and dropped off with your nomination forms.
