The temporary headquarters for the Door County Republican Party chapter was defaced with graffiti early Sunday morning, under cover of darkness. Police say reports from across the City of Sturgeon Bay have come in regarding various lawn signs as well. Chair Stephanie Soucek toured the damage as a group began clean up at the location on Egg Harbor Road. Soucek wasn’t sure if all of the spray paint would come off.

Door County Republicans had been hearing from supporters for weeks now about problems involving yard signs. Sunday’s behavior was a dramatic escalation from that. Soucek hopes those involved are arrested and held accountable. Theft or destruction of election materials is a criminal offense.
