Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers is seeking to fill a seat on the bench in Kewaunee County after Circuit Court Judge Keith Mehn passed away last month following a battle with kidney cancer.

“Judge Mehn was a respected attorney and judge who demonstrated a deep commitment to both his profession and his community,” said Gov. Evers. “We offer our sincerest condolences to the Mehn family, his colleagues and the Kewaunee County community, and all those who mourn his loss.”

Prior to his death, Mehn filed his non-candidacy papers for this spring’s election. Jeffrey Wisnicky of Kewaunee and Kimberly Hardtke of Luxemburg returned their nomination papers and had them approved by the state. A third candidate, John Peterson of Luxemburg, is waiting for the state to approve his paperwork after returning it earlier this week.
