As the days tick by following a raucous election in Germantown Hills the two new trustees-elect of the village board said they hope the personal and political wounds opened in the campaign are healing.
Both Theresa Olsen and Brian Wysocki said they stayed above the fray in the campaign and have no desire to get involved in any battles that may still continue to be waged.
Both Olsen and Wysocki said the campaign did contain some ugliness.
“I think there were some parties engaging in not so positive rhetoric,” Wysocki said.
But, both offered that they do not feel it is their job to somehow act as a political physician trying to heal any personal or political wounds that might still linger.
“I stayed neutral (in the campaign). I don’t plan on being a referee. I want to stay out of it,” Olsen said.
“I think the board needs to work together and make plans. I plan to work with every member of the village board. Our focus needs to be maintaining quality and allowing for growth.”
Wysocki offered a similar sentiment.
“We were all elected. We have different opinions. We need to listen to each other, get past any differences and work together,” Wysocki said.
“During the campaign I talked to residents about the bickering. Now they want to see the best for Germantown Hills. I want to see our board work together. We need to put any differences aside.”
Olsen said as far as she can tell any rifts that might have existed in the community before the election have vanished with the outcome of the election.
“I think once the election is over people move on,” Olsen said.
“I don’t see a rift. I really don’t have time to worry about that stuff.”
