Havas Concedes Defeat to Chavez for Milwaukee Muni Court
Attorney Jennifer Havas has conceded defeat to attorney Phil Chavez in the race for the Milwaukee Municipal Judge Branch 3.
Havas spokesman Stephan Thompson said she will continue to remain active in the community and return to her private practice.
Chris Haworth, spokesman for Chavez, said spirits are high at the Chavez headquarters. He said it took a lot of fighting to go from second in the primary to winning the general election. Havas finished first in the primary.
The candidates were vying to fill the position vacated by Judge James Gramling Jr., who is retiring. With 92 percent of the votes in, Chavez has 52 percent, or 17,769 votes, while Havas has 48 percent, or 16,469 votes.
