Now that the campaigning and the election are over Sturgeon Bay Mayor-elect David Ward is ready to get to work. Ward was in the middle of the Sturgeon Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday night when the election results were announced. When the meeting was over Ward turned on his phone to read a text from his daughter congratulating him.

Ward said he spoke with his opponent, Shawn Fairchild, and that both were pleased with how the campaign was conducted.

Ward says the first order of business once he takes office is to get organized.

Ward and the other city council members elected will be sworn in at the next City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 16th.
