MADISON, Wis. — A total of eleven seats on Madison’s Common Council were contested in this year’s election.
One of the most-watched races was in the 9th district, where longtime Alder Paul Skidmore faced a challenge from Nikki Conklin. The race came into focus when Skidmore was accused of using a sexist slur during a virtual meeting last year. However, an independent review of the meeting was found to be inconclusive.
Conklin won the seat with 55.9% of the vote.
