UW-Madison senior Analiese Eicher said Wednesday she will run for the position of District 5 Supervisor on the Dane County Board. The district largely represents UW-Madison students.
Former UW-Madison student Wyndham Manning currently holds the position and has said he does not plan to run for re-election.
Eicher said she has not officially made her announcement yet, but said she is focusing on putting together a campaign that will respond to the needs of UW-Madison students.
""I'm very excited to talk about issues affecting the students,"" she said.
Eicher has worked with the UW-Madison College Democrats in the past and is currently the chair of Wisconsin College Democrats, but says she plans to spend most of her time focusing on citywide issues.
""A lot of my energy has been for the students here at Madison,"" she said. ""This has been my home.""
