Statement from Mayor Cavalier Johnson on the Passing
of Aldermen Terry Witkowski and Jonathan Brostoff
“I am extremely saddened with the passing of both Alderman Jonathan Brostoff and former Alderman Terry Witkowski.
“Jonathan brought a unique energy to his work at City Hall. His passion and dedication were evident every day. No elected official brought more enthusiasm to their work than Jonathan. He was a husband, a father, a son, and, to me, a close friend. My thoughts and sympathy go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.
“Terry spent most of his professional life serving the people of our city. As the long-time leader of the Milwaukee Safety Commission, he led a variety of efforts to protect our residents. Then, in his service on the Milwaukee Common Council, Terry was a champion for his southside District. Every time I hear or see a reference to the Garden District, I will think of Terry’s work. To Terry’s family and friends, I offer my condolences.”
