Today, Alder Arvina Martin, District 11, has announced her resignation from the Madison Common Council effective May 25, 2022, at noon.
"It's been a pleasure to serve all of you and the community over these past 5 years. Serving my neighbors and the city I love has been the greatest incredible honor. We have made some important improvements in the city from redesigning our flag, so that we can visually represent our city in the most appropriate and respectful way to updating our historic preservation ordinances and piloting the CARES Program. It's been a gift to have been a part of these initiatives and to have served my constituents as their elected representative," said Alder Martin.
"The past two years have been hard for all of us. From the pandemic keeping us all at home, to kids doing schooling virtually and other demands, I know so many of us have been stretched to our limits. Heading into the rest of 2022, my priorities have shifted. I want to focus on my family and personal life. I also have a new job that is keeping me very busy recruiting and training Democratic women to run for office. Fortunately, this work means I get to continue to strive to improve the city of Madison and the state of Wisconsin every day. The work I do at Emerge Wisconsin will help create a pipeline of strong, effective leaders that will usher our state into the future. I look forward to doing that work and continuing to improve our communities. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to lead," added Alder Martin.
"Alder Martin has been an incredibly powerful voice and leader. While I'm excited for the new chapter in her life, her wisdom and service on the Council will be missed," said Council President Furman.
