Smiter (D) Challenges Sup. Martin (D) in District 7
n the race for Milwaukee County Board District 7, incumbent supervisor Felesia Martin faces a challenge from second-time political candidate Stacy Smiter.
Smiter is a real estate broker and adjunct instructor at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). He told Urban Milwaukee he’s a lifelong resident of the northwest side and spent his childhood in and out of foster homes before finding himself entangled in the criminal justice system for a series of marijuana possession arrests. In 2023, after earning a bachelor’s degree at Cardinal Stritch University, he received a pardon from Gov. Tony Evers. He went on to finish a Master of Business Administration from Southern New Hampshire University.
Martin, who was first elected to the county board in 2018, is a longtime resident of Sherman Park and spent her career working as a hospital administrator for the Medical College of Wisconsin. She previously served as vice chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
District 7 encompasses a large swath of the northwest side, with its northern boundary at W. Silver Spring Drive and its southern boundary largely along W. Center Street. The irregularly shaped district stretches from N. 35th Street to N. 92nd Street
