Kenosha Mayor David Bogdala delivered his 2025 State of the City Address on March 3. He said the city is "flourishing" and highlighted several of his administration's accomplishments over the past year.

"I see a Kenosha where innovation fuels our economy, where neighborhoods are safe and thriving, and where every resident feels a sense of belonging," Bogdala said. "I see a City that embraces sustainability, celebrates culture, and ensures every voice is heard.”

“This vision will take hard work, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our community. But I have no doubt that Kenosha is up to the task,” the mayor said. “Together, we will build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Kenosha for everyone." 

Bogdala discussed the city's economic growth, infrastructure enhancements, and public safety improvements.
