For those running for office locally this fall, campaigning and collecting nomination signatures was more of a challenge than other years. The COVID-19 pandemic required candidates to think of ways to connect to potential voters without violating social distancing rules and Safer at Home orders. First Assembly District Rep. Joel Kitchens says being an incumbent helped, but he relied on phone calls and snail mail to connect with prospective voters.
Running against the Sturgeon Bay Republican is Democratic challenger Kim Delorit Jensen. She says pop-up events throughout the district helped her get the signatures needed and talk to voters she otherwise may have not met.
In addition to the State Assembly and U.S. Congress races, Door County will see a contested race for Door County Treasurer.
