Letter to the Editor: Support Karalewitz for County Clerk

The Republican primary election for Waukesha County clerk is Aug. 14.

To the Editor:

Waukesha County residents have an opportunity to vote on Aug. 14 and advance an experienced county clerk candidate to the general election on Nov. 6.  We need to elect a county clerk who not only has experience in running elections, but has the additional skills and leadership qualities to successfully run the county clerk’s office.

Out of the three candidates running, only one has 25 years of election experience in this County and that is Kathy Karalewitz (the other candidates only have a combined three years of experience!). In Kathy’s 25 years of public service, she has spent eight years as the Waukesha County deputy clerk and 14 years as a municipal clerk. She has experience in budget planning and management, human resource management and strategic planning and procurement at both the municipal and county government level. She understands the process, and understands how to get things done. Kathy is a certified municipal clerk and a certified election inspector trainer with the WI Government Accountability Board.

Kathy Karalewitz is the only candidate on the Aug. 14 ballot who has the knowledge and experience to walk into the job and start fixing the current issues in the clerk’s office on day one. This county needs to move forward and restore the trust and integrity in our election process and in our county clerk’s office by electing an experienced clerk candidate.  Please vote K. Karalewitz on Aug. 14.

Who are the other candidates and who is backing them?

Karelewicz has a high school diploma and a history of job hopping. 25 years within virtually the same four walls doing the same thing with basically the same people. What is her management experience? Why no self-development - associate's degree, even just some college courses? Her experience is primarily in an office support role. The next County Clerk will have a target on her back. She better be comfortable working with the public and the media, not dodging them or coming up with weak excuses (think the Spring election when she was the absolute last clerk to bring in her records). The County Clerk job is far more complicated than just showing up in an office. Novack has extensive leadership experience in a highly political environment (10 years Washington DC). Masters degree. Public relations and communications experience. We should want more than the opportunity to promote a current clerk. Novack is the professional package the county needs to get its reputation of competency and integrity back.

Just why did Karalewitz leave Menomonee Falls as clerk ? The Menomonee Falls
RINO's and the Cabal ....Sue Jeskewitz , Jim Jeskewitz , Jim Dwyer , Joe [ Boss Hog ] Greco ..... supporting KARALEWITZ MOMMY Patricia Madden--Former Clerk -- is also supporting her . Ask yourself why? Media Matters also has a story about MF and not using the systems everyother Village and Town were using to transfer data to the county .. Guess who the clerk was and who was the last clerk to deliver her totals to the Co ,,,, Because it's so far to drive.

Our spruce trees have been dying as well. Very slowly. This is on upper Coventry lane just acrossRead More from the walkway to Meadowbrook school.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.

Will these need water? Because the Garden Center at Target has great deals on "no water"Read More tomato plants, which would surely save me some much needed General Assistance money.
Kathy Spancrete June 13, 2013 at 09:14 pm
According to a recent episode of Judge Judy, tomatoes can be both poisonous and deadly. When IRead More called the posted phone number asking for a simple answer to my many serious questions, and all they did was put me on hold -- repeatedly. I cannot recommend a company that refuses to stand behind its own product, much less pick up the phone.

Update! Collin was just selected as one of two STATE TROOPERS for Dodge County. He and otherRead More representatives were interviewed yesterday. Word is that he may be assisting Governor Scott Walker off the helicopter when he arrives at Badger Boys State later this week. Governor Walker is a past Badger Boys State representative.
