At least two chairs in the Door County Board will have new faces when the spring election takes place in April. District 2’s John Neinas and District 14’s Linda Wait filed their non-candidacy papers back in November. Todd Thayse took out nomination papers to replace Neinas but has not turned them in while Dale Vogel has filed his paperwork to replace Wait. There only three other possible contested races for the Door County Board, which had 19 of its 21 incumbents circulate nomination papers. Erin Tauscher is challenging Helen Bacon for her District 7 seat, Charles Olson looks to replace Dan Austad in District 8, and Elizabeth Gauger looks to run against Randy Halstead in District 16. As of Thursday morning, 15 of 25 people circulating nomination papers for the Door County Board have turned them in before Tuesday’s deadline.
