History
In her earlier years, Wurmlinger served on the Southgate City Council from 1977-1990. From that point on, she served as Mayor of Southgate from 1990–1999 and then returned to the mayor's office in 2005. In the 2007 mayoral election, she was re-elected again.
New name for City Hall
A rededication ceremony was held on June 20, 2008. It was part of the city's 50th Anniversary celebration and the event concluded with the opening of the city's "Concert in the Park" celebration. On the same day, Southgate's City Hall was named after Wurmlinger for all of her years of service and commitment to the City of Southgate. The building now bears the name "Norma J. Wurmlinger Municipal Building", respectively.
Retirement
Prior to the November 2009 general election for Mayor, Wurmlinger announced that she would not be seeking re-election for Mayor and that she had made the decision to permanently retire from political office. Around the same time, she then announced her backing of Downriver Development Authority Chairman Joseph Kuspa, who then himself went on to win the general election on November 3, 2009, defeating former Southgate Mayor Dennis David.
