WAUNAKEE — Talk to any typical college junior and most of them may have thoughts of graduating, getting a job, and moving away from home.
While 21-year-old Erin Moran certainly has some of those things on her mind, she recently started another after-school activity that most might not find typical.
The Edgewood College student and Waunakee resident was recently elected to the Village Board of Trustees, along with two others, getting 1,740 votes in the April 3 election.
On Election Night, the Waunakee Tribune, when reporting the results, called Moran “perhaps the youngest [village board trustee] in Waunakee history.”
Moran, who received the second-most votes, came out ahead of two incumbents, who had both served on the board for more than a decade, according to the Waunakee Tribune.
Active in her hometown and beyond
Moran is one of four daughters of parents Steph and John. They are members of St. John the Baptist Parish in Waunakee.
