The deadline extension for candidates to submit nomination papers for District 4 in Sturgeon Bay passed last Friday without any new names for the April 7th ballot.  Newcomer Spencer Gustafson will be the only person running for the seat as incumbent Kelly Avenson decided not to run and failed to fill out non-candidacy papers in time for last month’s deadline.  Gustafson says he chose to run for office in order to get city projects completed, especially along the west side waterfront.

Councilmembers David Hayes from District 2 and Seth Wiederanders of District 6 will run unopposed on the ballot except for any write-in candidates.
