Supervisor Mark Borkowski and Tim Carpenter
Aldermanic Race Still Toss Up
MILWAUKEE — The votes are in and for now, it appears Milwaukee County Supervisor Mark Borkowski edged State Senator Tim Carpenter in a special election to fill Milwaukee’s 11th Aldermanic District seat to replace Alderman Joe Dudzik who died in May after crashing his motorcycle.
Borkowski pulled in 51 percent of the vote — beating Carpenter by just 89 votes. The tally as of Tuesday night, August 18th was Borkowski 2,273 votes to Carpenter’s 2,184 votes.
Borkowski currently leads Carpenter, but the election commission said the results are not final until all absentee and provisional ballots are tabulated this Friday.
Once those votes are counted, the final results of the election will be announced.
