Good morning, Racine.

The Black Arts Council of Racine will host its second annual Black Women’s Forum on April 25th from 5 to 8 p.m. at Gateway Technical College — the event will celebrate Black women's stories, leadership, and resilience while honoring former Alderwoman Mollie Jones — and a few tickets remain available by email.

Racine County Circuit Court Judge Jon Fredrickson requested a recount after losing the April 1 election to Attorney Jamie McClendon by 55 votes.

The recount is underway and will be completed by April 22 or 23—County Clerk Wendy Christensen manages the process under state law for close-margin races.

Racine homeowners are choosing to renovate by opening up kitchens and great rooms—this trend comes as the market stays strong with median prices rising 16.3% and homes selling faster.

Local contractors say residents now value spaces that fit daily living over costly cosmetic upgrades.
