Scott Resnick announced Tuesday he will run for District 8 alder, a region representing many UW-Madison students.
Current District 8 alder, Bryon Eagon recently said he will not run for re-election in the spring.
Resnick, a UW-Madison alumnus, has lived in District 8 for five years. He is currently president of the State-Langdon Neighborhood Association and vice president of Hardin Design & Development, a small business in downtown Madison.
As a member of the State-Langdon Neighborhood Association, Resnick has been interested in tenant relations, campus safety, economic development and alcohol policies, according to a statement.
""My leadership style is to eliminate adversity and create an open dialogue among community members in the neighborhood,"" Resnick said in the statement.
Resnick's campaign platform focuses on safety, tenant and landlord relations, development downtown and being accessible as an alder.
Resnick will run against UW-Madison student Kyle Szarzynski, who announced his candidacy earlier this month.
