GREEN BAY - Retired teacher Lynn Gerlach unseated incumbent Alderman Andy Nicholson in last week's Green Bay City Council election, the only challenger to beat a sitting member.

Gerlach garnered 431 votes to Nicholson's 344 in Tuesday's election, which saw 15.9 percent turnout in the city of Green Bay. Nicholson also lost his Brown County Board seat to Amanda K. Chu in last Tuesday's election.

The results, which are not yet official until a canvass scheduled this week, came six days after an election that left many voters frustrated as city officials scrambled to safely hold in-person voting in the middle of a pandemic. Residents at the polls waited hours to vote, while some who tried to cast absentee ballots didn't get them in time.

Shortly after 4 p.m. Monday, Clerk Kris Teske and other staff members began to print out tabulations of ballots cast on April 7 to compare with computer results. A video of the effort was live streamed as staffers shuffled boxes of ballots, voting machine printouts and related materials in and out of the City Hall hallway where ballot machines were set up. Two hours into the tally, boxes of ballots started to pile up in front of the camera.

Council members Barb Dorff, Bill Galvin, Craig Stevens and Jesse Brunette ran unopposed. All officials will be sworn in during the council's April 21 meeting.
