Marge Kaptanak and Kim Collins propose candidacies for Superior City Council vacancies

During the recent Common Council meeting in Superior, Wisconsin, community engagement took center stage as residents expressed their interest in local governance and community service.

Marge Kaptanak, a lifelong resident and retired educator, shared her desire to enter politics by seeking a position to complete a term in the council. With over three decades of teaching experience in the Superior School District, Kaptanak emphasized her commitment to the community and her readiness to contribute to local decision-making.

Another resident, Kim Collins, also voiced her aspirations for political involvement. A relatively new resident of the Fifth District, Collins has been active in community initiatives, particularly advocating for health issues related to her daughter’s type 1 diabetes. With a background in theater and education, she expressed her enthusiasm for the opportunity to serve on the council, not only for the short term but also with plans to run for the seat in the upcoming April elections.

Both Kaptanak and Collins highlighted the importance of community service and their dedication to making Superior a better place for families. Their candidacies reflect a growing interest among residents to participate in local governance and address community needs directly.

As the council continues to navigate local issues, the involvement of engaged citizens like Kaptanak and Collins may bring fresh perspectives and a renewed focus on community-driven initiatives. The meeting underscored the vital role that residents play in shaping the future of Superior, reinforcing the idea that local governance is most effective when it includes voices from the community.
