Rock Island resident Jeffery Westerfield will remain on the ballot as a candidate for 3rd Ward Alderman in the April 6 municipal election.Â
Judith Gilbert, who resigned as city clerk one year ago, filed an objection to Westerfield s election petition, alleging he lives in the 2nd Ward and is therefore ineligible to be on the ballot as a candidate in the 3rd Ward. Gilbert also is running for 3rd Ward Alderman.Â
Rock Island electoral board members Mayor Mike Thoms, Interim City Clerk Linda Mohr and current 3rd Ward Alderman James Spurgetis sat through a third hearing of lengthy, sometimes contentious, testimony on Tuesday. Thoms and Mohr ruled in Westerfield s favor; Spurgetis opposed.Â
Former Rock Island City Clerk Judith Gilbert wants to come back to City Hall, but this time as an elected official. She has already challenged the election petition of an opposing candidate.Â
Gilbert is running for city council in the 3rd Ward in the April 6, 2021, municipal election to replace current Alderman James Spurgetis, who is not running for reelection.Â
Gilbert abruptly resigned as city clerk in December 2019 when she made a public statement that she was the victim of ongoing workplace bullying by another city employee. She handed her resignation letter to Mayor Mike Thoms at the end of a city council meeting, catching Thoms and city council members by surprise. Â
