Zettel joins race for District 14 seat

You are running out of time if you are planning to run for the Door County Board. Hugh Zettel is the only new name to join the fray since our update last week.

 

He has returned his nomination signatures to run for the District 14 seat, which is being vacated by longtime supervisor Richard “Biz” Virlee and challenged by Darrick DeMeuse. That could create eight contested elections this spring for Door County Board seats. Todd Thayse and Lora Jorgensen have both filed their nomination papers for the District 2 seat. Roy Englebert will face another challenge to keep his District 3 seat after Patrick Olson took out his nomination papers for circulation earlier this month. Nancy Robillard and Kara Counard are contesting the District 4 seat after redistricting put the pair of incumbents in the same area. Jeff Miller and Timothy Smith look to become the new District 5 supervisor. Incumbent District 9 supervisor Dan Austad could face a challenge Jonathan Kruse while Morgan Rusnak and Helen Bacon are both in the race for District 11. Holly Runquist is challenging District 18 supervisor Vinni Chomeau while Nate Bell, Walter Kalms, Janet Johnson, and Abby Duebler are all running for the District 20 supervisory post. Thayse (District 2), Jorgenson (District 2), Englebert (District 3), Robillard (District 4), Ken Fisher (District 6), Austad (District 7), Rusnak (District 11), Bacon (District 11), Dale Vogel (District 13), DeMeuse (District 14), Zettel (District 14), Elizabeth Gauger (District 15), and Joel Gunnlaugsson (District 21) have all filed their nominations papers. Every seat on the board has at least one person running for the board.

 

All other potential candidates have until 5 p.m. to fill their paperwork with Jill Lau in the Door County Clerk’s Office on January 4th.
