Luke Bohlen (District 2, Wards 3 & 4)
It is my honor to have been selected to serve Tomah’s 2nd District as Alderman. My wife and I have one son and are homeowners of 7 years. I was born and raised in the Milwaukee area. As a son of blue-collar parents, I learned the value of a hard day’s work, sensible spending and the importance of quality jobs. I moved to LaCrosse for my education at the UW and went on to become a Professional Educator. I am proud to have served the families and students of Tomah for 8 years now as a teacher at TMS. Participation in the Heeler-Grandview Neighborhood Watch has given me tremendous enjoyment as I have seen a renewal in neighborhood pride and genuine neighborly relationships. I believe most any modern neighborhood could benefit from efforts by neighbors to get to know one another and share common goals for their area. As Alderman, I will put priority on a positive vision for Tomah and my District. I believe in focusing on our strengths to overcome our challenges. I value our excellent city services and a high quality of life for residents through prudent spending, keeping of ordinances, and growth of Tomah as a place of business.

Ted Schleicher (District 3, Wards 7 & 8)
I was appointed to complete the term when a vacancy occurred in 2002 and have held the position since that time. I retired from the Tomah VA Medical Center Recreation Department in 2006 after 35 years of service and from the National Guard in 1988 after 22 years of service. I currently coach Middle School Girls Softball and am a big supporter of the youth of the Tomah area. I presently serve on the Board of Review, Joint City/School Planning Committee, and the Public Works & Utility Commission. I am very actively involved with the Tomah Area Veterans Memorial Campaign to pursue the construction of a local Veterans Memorial. I am a strong supporter of veterans and what they stand for.

Nellie Pater (District 5, Wards 11 & 12)
I am married with three children; John, Jessica and Nicole. I moved to Tomah with my family in 1995. I am a federal employee at Fort McCoy WI and I have 28 years with the federal government. I enjoy working in my gardening and helping others. As alderwomen for the 5th district, I believe taxpayers should have their say in city spending. I believe in keeping an open-mind on issues that come before the Council. As alderwomen my goal is to closely monitor tax dollars, and city spending. I view myself as an independent thinker that makes decision based on the wishes of the people.
