MILWAUKEE -- Jailed Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee Jr. has won Milwaukee's 6th aldermanic district primary where eight other candidates were hoping to unseat McGee as he conducts city business and his re-election campaign from jail.

McGee is scheduled to go on trial during the first week of March on charges he conspired with two other men to have a teenager beaten.

If McGee is found guilty of the felony charges against him, he would be removed from office and another election for McGee's seat would need to be held.

Also running against McGee were ViAnna Jordan, who organized the failed recall attempt against McGee last year . McGee won in a landslide, capturing 62 percent of the vote. Jordan came in third.
