Pietrowski Retains Common Council Seat

Incumbent Thomas Pietrowski secured enough votes Tuesday to earn his fourth term as the Greenfield Common Council's District 2 Alderperson.

Pietrowski defeated former alderperson James Palmar, 956-859, or 53 percent to 47 percent.

"Hopefully it’s by doing what my constituents felt I should be doing for them, standing up for them," Pietrowski said when asked why he thought he was re-elected. "There are pockets of people that somehow have a need, and when you come to help them, they appreciate it. That’s how it goes."

Pietrowski is a lifelong Greenfield resident who has referred to himself as a fiscal conservative. He believes the city should have a comprehensive capital improvements program that includes work on the city's roads and infrastructure, but said the budget will be an issue for everyone moving forward.

"There's a lot of challenges," he said. "The big one is going to be the budget though, with what’s going to be handed down by the state."

Incumbent Linda Lubotsky ran unopposed in the District 1 race an received 1,025 votes. This will be her second term.
