GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Green Bay Mayoral Candidate Guy Zima was the 8th candidate to enter the race but says what he would provide the city is one of a kind.
After years of speaking out against Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt, Guy Zima has started the process to be the one to replace him.
He explains what went into his decision.
“After 30 years with my experience, my knowledge and most important, my courage to stand up for the average taxpayer, maybe I will take a chance and run again.”
Before losing both his city council seat and county board seat in 2018, Zima made headlines for challenging Mayor Schmitt and says it came down to standing up for what he felt was right, not to be considered a problem starter.
“Somebody has to be combative when it needs to be combative. Somebody has to ask the hard questions. Somebody has to look out for the people who in the end are paying the bills, and I think we need a real change of culture here in Green Bay.”
This is not Zima’s first attempt at running for Mayor, as he ran several times in the past.
On WTAQ’s John Muir Show Thursday, Zima said he would offer the city of Green Bay as Mayor is transparency.
“I want them to know that when I talk they are going to get straight talk, not a bunch of malarky or bologna or whatever you call it.”
Zima currently is in the midst of a defamation lawsuit he filed against the city of Green Bay, current Mayor Jim Schmitt, and others.
