GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- A statement by an outgoing Alderman, may have an effect on the next Green Bay Mayoral election.
After losing his seat on the city council, outgoing alderman Guy Zima says he may throw his hat in the ring for Mayor.
Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt says he does not see that happening.
“I don’t think Alderman Zima is going to run for anything anymore. The support won’t be there.”
However, if it did happen, Schmitt said his plans of not running for re-election may change.
“I had said I would run for mayor again if I felt the city was at risk or if there wasn’t someone that had a great love for this city or have a good business mind to run this city. That would be Guy Zima, but that’s just not going to happen,” said Schmitt.
State Rep. Eric Genrich (D-Green Bay) is the only person who has officially announced a run for mayor.
Outgoing Green Bay Aldermen Tom De Wane and Joe Moore have expressed interest in the job, as has Brown County Supervisor Pat Evans.
Mayor Schmitt said he feels the voters decisions to make some changes will make Green Bay a progressive city.
