A New Voice Working For You
I am excited to introduce myself as a candidate for Alderperson in District 3. My name is Michael Stluka, but most people know me as Indy.
I live in Wauwatosa with my wife and two sons, and I am so proud to call this community my home!
If elected, I plan to be an active leader on our Common Council and will work hard to represent all of our district; advocating for policies that put our people and community first for long term success. I will build positive partnerships throughout our community and connect our residents to the information they want. In addition, I will strive to be a good steward of our resources by identifying ways for us to operate more efficiently, finding new revenue sources without increasing our taxes, and protecting our unique green spaces.

I look forward to earning your support and if elected, working for you at City Hall!
