What does the Common Council actually do and who gets it all done? During this program, you'll hear Alderwoman Sharlen P. Moore share what drew her to this work and her role day-to-day.

What does the Election Commission actually do and who gets it all done?

During this program, you'll hear Alderwoman Sharlen P. Moore, representing Milwaukee's District 10, share what drew her to this work, her role day-to-day, and how you can get more involved in our city this year.

We will be cooking up Alderwoman Moore's favorite dish with our resident chef, Sharrie Agee, while we talk, so come hungry and ready to learn more about what it takes to represent constituents in Milwaukee.

Civic Bites is a monthly series from the Milwaukee Public Library, through the One MKE project, designed to bring you closer to the people who keep our city running.
