Frank Tower, newly elected to the Oshkosh Common Council in April of 2002, was interviewed about his candidacy by Palmeri and Mather in February. Mr. Tower was elected to council in April, finishing in first place--ahead of incumbents Paul Esslinger and Stephen Hintz. In 2001, Tower was denied a seat on the Council when he lost in a recount to Shirley Brabender Mattox. Tower and Mattox will now serve on the Council together for at least one year.
