Edgerton council appoints Jenna as municipal court judge, 4-1
Summary
Two candidates spoke for the municipal judge vacancy; after brief candidate statements and questions about training, the council appointed Jenna as municipal court judge by a 4-1 vote (one dissenting vote from Paul Davis).
The Edgerton Common Council appointed Jenna as the city's municipal court judge following brief candidate statements and discussion of training and experience.
One candidate introduced herself as a long-time Edgerton resident and business owner with school-board experience and said she hoped to give back to the community; she noted she had not previously served as a judge but believed her business and school-board background would serve the role. "I serve on the school board and that has been very fulfilling," she said. A second candidate highlighted prior experience and said they believed their credentials would allow them to fill the vacancy.
Council members discussed training requirements and resources, including the Municipal Judges Institute, and noted the administrative support available from existing court staff and the broader court system. After brief discussion a member moved to appoint Jenna; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call, 4-1 (Paul Davis opposed).
Next steps: the council confirmed the appointment and discussed election timing and candidacy paperwork for the upcoming municipal election cycle.
