Some new but familiar faces have begun circulating their nomination papers for seats on the Door County Board and the Kewaunee County Board.
In Door County, two new faces will try to represent District 5. Redistricting has placed District 5 supervisor Nancy Robillard into the same district as Kara Counard, both of whom have taken out nomination papers. Jeff Miller and Timothy Smith will try to represent District 5 instead. Lora Jorgensen looks to run against incumbent Todd Thayse for the District 2 supervisory seat. Holly Runquist is circulating nomination papers to potentially face incumbent District 18 supervisor Vinni Chomeau, who has not begun the process to run for re-election. Contested races are also taking shape in District 11 where Helen Bacon could run against current supervisor Morgan Rusnak and in District 20 where Nate Bell, Walter Kalms, and Janet Johnson are all running for the position on the board. Incumbents David Englebert (District 1), Roy Englebert (District 3), Daniel Austad (District 9), Nissa Norton (District 12), Dale Vogel (District 13), Elizabeth Gauger (District 15), Bob Bultman (District 17), and David Lienau (District 19) have all taken out their nomination papers. Vogel, Rusnak, Austad, Robillard, and Kenneth Fisher have all filed their nomination papers. Fisher looks to replace Susan Kohout, who has decided to not run again to represent District 6. Darrick DeMeuse has taken out papers to replace Richard Biz "Biz" Virlee, who also decided to not seek re-election.
Things are a little more status quo in Kewaunee County where only one challenger has taken out nomination papers. Nellie DeBaker is hoping to represent District 4, a seat currently held by Doak Baker. Gerald Paape (District 1), Aaron Augustian (District 11), Milt Swagel (District 12), Thomas Romdenne (District 14), Linda Teske (District 15), Virginia Haske (District 16), Jeffrey Vollenweider (District 18), and Joanne Lazansky (District 20) have filed their campaign registration statements and the declarations of candidacy. John Mastalir (District 19) has submitted his letter of candidacy.
