About Dane County Supervisor District 15
Dane County Supervisor District 15 is a key part of our county’s local government — one of 37 supervisory districts that make up the Dane County Board of Supervisors. The board is responsible for setting county priorities, adopting the annual budget, and passing policies that impact public services, health and human services, infrastructure, economic development, and environmental stewardship.
The seat is currently vacant following the recent resignation of the previous supervisor, creating an important opportunity for new leadership to represent the voices and priorities of District 15 residents.
Nino Amato is a proud second-generation Madisonian who built one of the first homes in Wexford Village in 1978. He raised his two daughters here and has lived and worked on Madison’s west side for over 47 years.
Priorities for Dane County
Dane County is facing serious challenges, from rising property taxes and housing costs to strained mental health services, drinking water concerns, and public safety issues. These problems are connected, and they demand experienced leadership that goes beyond slogans.
Nino Amato brings decades of public service and hands-on experience managing large public budgets. He has a proven record of demanding transparency, reducing waste, and turning tough policy challenges into practical solutions.
As Dane County Supervisor, Nino will focus on fiscal responsibility, restoring mental health and addiction services, protecting clean drinking water, and promoting smart environmental stewardship, all while listening closely to District 15 residents and fighting for working families, seniors, and small businesses.
