Superior WI City Council: Democracy with a Dash of Drama

Welcome to the Superior City Council, where local governance meets small-town reality TV. This band of elected officials is responsible for making big decisions, like whether to fill that massive pothole on Tower Avenue or just turn it into a tourist attraction.

Comprised of folks who genuinely love Superior—and occasionally love to hate each other—the council is a colorful mix of lifelong locals, political rookies, and the occasional power couple. Meetings are part policy, part performance art, and always a little unpredictable.

From budget debates to heated discussions about which festival gets the biggest beer tent, Superior’s City Council keeps the spirit of civic engagement alive—sometimes too alive. If you’re looking for transparent government with a side of small-town squabbles, you’ve found it.
