Virlee, Kohout say no to re-election to Door County Board

Two current Door County Board members have turned in their notice of non-candidacy while redistricting could set up a contested race between two incumbents.

 

District 6 Supervisor Susan Kohout and District 14 Supervisor Richard Biz Virlee turned in their notices of non-candidacy before the end of November. They each have people lined up to replace them as Kenneth Fisher (District 6) and Darrick DeMeuse (District 14) each took out nomination papers.

 

Redistricting has shifted some supervisors into new districts. It is part of the reason why incumbent supervisors Nancy Robillard and Kara Counard could face each other in the spring election. Robillard, formerly of District 5, has begun circulating her nomination papers for the same role in District 4. As of Monday, Counard has not taken out nomination papers to run for re-election in the district.

 

Helen Bacon looks to reclaim a seat on the Door County Board representing District 11 after she was defeated by Erin Tauscher in 2020 for District 7. Tauscher was later replaced by Morgan Rusnak, who is circulating her papers to keep her seat representing District 11.

 

Nate Bell, Walter Kalms, and Janet Johnson have all taken out nominations papers to represent District 20.

 

Daniel Austad (District 9), Nissa Norton (District 12), Dale Vogel (District 13) Elizabeth Gauger (District 15), David Lienau (District 19), and Joel Gunnlaugsson(District 21) are all incumbents that have taken the first step to run for re-election. Nomination papers are due back at the Door County Clerk’s Office by 5 p.m. on January 4th.
