Wethal Sworn In To Represent City Council In Ward 4

Katy Wethal was sworn in as the Dubuque City Council’s newest member Monday night in a ceremony at the Historic Federal Building. Wethal was sworn in and attended her first City Council meeting, becoming the new representative for Ward 4. Last Tuesday, Wethal won a special election for the seat, winning over Carla Anderson 355 votes to 254. Wethal and Anderson advanced to last week’s election by garnering the most votes in a seven-person primary election on March 1st. The Ward 4 seat has been vacant since the beginning of January, when Ward 4 Council Member Brad Cavanagh was sworn in as mayor after winning the race to succeed Roy Buol.
