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
