You will see at least one new person leading a city in Kewaunee County after this spring’s election with the possibility of another.

The City of Kewaunee did not see any other additional candidates come through before Tuesday’s deadline, meaning Jeff Vollenweider will run unopposed for the city’s mayoral seat. Current Mayor Jason Jelinek opted not to run for a second term. Kathy Brown will look to replace Vollenweider as a member of the council representing District 1 and Eric Wisnicky doing the same for Dan Stangel who filed his non-candidacy papers. James Brewster (District 2) and  Janita Zimmerman (District 3) will run for re-election unopposed.

Two contested races highlight the Algoma city elections this spring. Mayor Wayne Schmidt will see a challenge from Virginia Haske, the person he replaced on the job ten years ago. Eric Dean is running against incumbent council member Casey Buhr for District 3. Kevin Schmidt (District 1) and Scott Meverden (District 2) are running unopposed.
