Alderman Hastings Not Seeking Another Term in Office

There will be at least two new Waukesha aldermen in office next spring after two aldermen decide to not seek another term.

At least two Waukesha aldermen are not seeking re-election this spring.

Alderman Rick Hastings, who serves District 12, has filed his declaration of non-candidacy at City Hall. 

Hastings was appointed as an alderman in 2011 after Charles Lichtie resigned due to health problems. Hasting was elected in April to finish Lichtie’s three-year term. But Hasting’s will not seek the next term in office.

“Although it certainly was a rewarding experience being an alderman and I enjoy speaking for the constituents, it is a little more of a time commitment than I could make right now,” Hastings said.

Also not seeking re-election is Alderman Duane Paulson, who will finish his first term as the District 15 alderman in April.
