HARVARD – A 36-year-old Navy veteran will challenge Mayor Jay Nolan in one of two contested elections April 9 in Harvard.

Ward 3 Alderman Scott Logan faces Raul Meza in the other. City Clerk Andy Wells, Treasurer Deb Szczap, Ward 1 Alderman Chuck Marzahl, Ward 2 Alderman Phil Ulmer and Ward 4 Alderman Carl Opper are unopposed to retain their posts.

Will Parker is a lifelong Harvard resident, except for his eight years in the Navy. An employee of Kikkoman Foods in Walworth, Wis., he said he decided to run for mayor to better the community in which his 1-year-old twins will grow up.
