There will be a new mayor for the City of Algoma when the general election is held in April after a big turnout of 515 voters on Tuesday.  Incumbent Virginia Haske finished third in Tuesday’s primary as challengers Steve Lautenbach and Casey Buhr finished with the two highest vote counts in the run-off election.

Buhr garnered 184 votes, and Lautenbach finished with 177 votes to Haske’s 153.

Buhr and Lautenbach will face off in the general election on April 2nd.

Buhr was also the top vote-getter in the Algoma Alderperson District 3 primary race, with 84 votes, followed by Bill Bush with 57 and Kenneth D. Taylor with 29.

Buhr and Bush will now advance to the general election to determine who gets the seat on the Algoma Common Council.
