A Democratic candidate delivered a political earthquake in a Milwaukee suburb, winning the mayoral race in a longtime Republican stronghold.
Alicia Halvensleben narrowly won the election in Waukesha with more than 51 percent of the vote, or just under 500 votes, to Republican state Rep. Scott Allen’s just under 49 percent.
While mayoral races don’t typically rise to the national level and the election was technically nonpartisan, the win by the city’s Common Council president against a GOP state lawmaker has wider implications heading into the midterms. Waukesha County is known for being reliably conservative.
