“I will continue to be City Council District 4’s voice, making sure we have the infrastructure, the best state-of-the-art recreational parks and greenways and schools in the state,” Shaw said. “As Madison continues to grow and prosper, I will make sure that our city lives within its means and make every tax dollar count.”
