Election set Dec. 2 for McClain board seat

Milwaukee Newspaper Guild members will vote Dec. 2 to elect a new at-large Executive Board member to replace Dani McClain, who recently left her job as a metro reporter to join an advocacy organization in California.

The special election will be at our regular quarterly membership meeting, at noon on the second floor of Turner Hall. Lunch will be provided.

McClain was elected in September to a one-year term that started Oct. 1. She was also our human rights chair.

The board has temporarily appointed Waukesha County Bureau reporter Erin Richards to McClain’s board seat, but that appointment lasts only until the election. Richards, who lost by a single vote in September, will be on the ballot in December to fill out the remainder of McClain’s term. Nominations from the floor also will be accepted.
