Most Door and Kewaunee counties’ three city council incumbents have made it known they are running for re-election this spring.

In Sturgeon Bay, Mayor David Ward and council members Dennis Statz (District 2), J. Spencer Gustafson (District 4), and Seth Wiederanders (District 6) have taken out their nomination papers for circulation.

Nobody new has thrown their hat into the ring in the City of Algoma since last week’s update. Mayor Wayne Schmidt, First District Alderperson Kevin Schmidt, and Fourth District Alderperson Jake Maring have begun the process to run again for their respective seats.

The only exception is Kewaunee where a contested race for mayor is taking shape. Jeff Vollenweider, who is currently one of the two aldermen representing the city’s first district, took out his nomination papers to run for mayor. He could potentially face the city’s current mayor Jason Jelinek, who has also grabbed the necessary paperwork needed to begin his re-election bid. Janita Zimmerman will seek another term representing the third aldermanic district while Cathy Brown has begun circulating papers for the first aldermanic district being vacated by Vollenweider.  Kewaunee City Clerk Terri Decur was not available on Friday to provide a new update on who has plans on being on or off the ballot this spring.

Nomination forms are due back to the cities’ respective clerk’s offices by January 4th.
