County Board Chair Patrick Miles earned 54% of the vote in Dane County District 34 to fend off challenger Ed Wreh and keep the seat he’s held since 2006.
“My mother, an immigrant from Japan, was a single parent raising five kids on waitress’ pay,” Miles said in a statement during the campaign. “We could not have gotten by without the help of services. My life would be very different today had I not had the advocacy of a social worker and the safety of a foster home during my last couple years of high school. Ensuring we sustain and expand county services that improve our quality of life is at the core of why I serve. This is why I have consistently supported expansion of case management services to help our seniors live independently, increased funding for our youth centers, and joined my colleagues in expansion of mental health crisis support throughout the county.”
Miles, who lives in McFarland, has chaired the County Board since 2022.
