Saying that he wants to concentrate on his physical rehabilitation, 5th District Alderman Joseph Poshepny today withdrew as a candidate for re-election in the spring election.
He will continue filling the duties of alderman until his term expires in April, he wrote in his letter of withdrawal.
It is too late, however, to remove his name from the Feb. 16 primary election ballot. Poshepny had been one of three candidates running for the 5th District seat. Also running are Jake Krueger and Deena Liska.
Poshepny is recovering from a serious illness that kept him from attending Common Council and other city meetings from mid-May until fall. Because of his illness, he resigned and then withdrew his resignation. The council reinstated him in January.
