WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) Former Wausau Mayor Linda Lawrence is one of two applicants for an opening on the City Council.
Lawrence and Jennifer Gabriel have both filed paperwork with the City Clerk to fill the vacancy after the death of District 8 alderwoman Karen Kellbach. For others who are interested in the position, the deadline to apply is Friday.
The City Council will interview the applicants and then make an appointment to fill the seat on October 22. The new council member will serve until April 2020. At that time they’d have to run for re-election.
Lawrence served as mayor from 1998 to 2002.
