WAUKESHA - The village has its first elected president, and it's not the former town chairman. In unofficial election results Tuesday, challenger Michael Doerr defeated Brian Tom Fischer for the leadership position Fischer had held through the municipality's transition from town to village in 2020. Doerr expressed gratitude for what he felt was a reaffirmation on his campaign in a race separated by only 262 votes. Doerr netted 1,362 votes, or 55.3% of the total, to Fischer's 1,100 votes (44.6%), according to unofficial tallies. "The hard work my supporters put in over the past weeks helped me convince the voters it was time for fresh leadership," Doerr said in a statement late Tuesday. "It is humbling to have such strong community support for my campaign and the direction I want to lead our village."
