GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The list of Green Bay Mayoral candidates keeps growing.
Brown County Supervisor Patrick Buckley is the latest to show interest.
While he will officially announce his candidacy next week, he has had plenty of time to work on his campaign.
“I have been looking at this since the last mayoral election, but at that time it just wasn’t a good fit for my personal life or business life.”
Buckley says his focus is on improving two key areas.
“We have to take care of our budget and our infrastructure.”
Buckley is the second County Board Supervisor to throw his hat in the ring.
Pat Evans announced his candidacy this week.
Buckley is serving his fifth term as Supervisor and is a former Green Bay Alderman and a police officer.
“It’s a good time for me to get into the race and look at taking the city to the next level.”
He says he feels he has qualifications that the rest of the field does not.
“When I look at the field, I am the only one with a deep business background. I am the only one that has worked in the city of Green Bay for a number of years both as an employee and as an Alderman.”
He would be the fifth candidate to announce.
He will make his candidacy official next Tuesday at The Cannery in Green Bay.
