Door and Kewaunee counties will have plenty of contested races on the ballot when you go to the polls on Tuesday.


Door County will feature seven contested races in the 21 county board supervisor seats.  District 2 will have incumbent Todd Thayse being challenged by Lora Jorgenson, District 4 has incumbent Kara Counard facing current District 5 supervisor Nancy Robillard due to new redistricting lines.  Either Jeff Miller or Tim Smith will fill the open seat in District 5. Jonathon Kruse in District 9 is challenging incumbent Dan Austad.  District 11 has incumbent Morgan Rusnak facing Helen Bacon.  In District 14, Darrick DeMeuse and Hugh Zettel look to fill the position held by retiring supervisor Biz Virlee. In District 20, Walter Kalms and Abby Duebler will fill the spot left by Board Chair Dave Lienau, who is now in District 19 after redistricting.  
The Sturgeon Bay School District will have a referendum on the ballot to fund educational programming for students that would exceed the state-mandated tax revenue limit for five years. Sturgeon Bay, Sevastopol and Gibraltar all have contested races for school board seats.

 

In Kewaunee County, the circuit court judge position will have Kimberly Hardtke and Jeffrey Wisnicky facing off to replace the late Keith Mehn who passed away late last year.  Another contested race will be for District 4 in the northeastern corner of Kewaunee County, where Dennis Langteau and Nellie DeBaker are looking to fill that seat.  In Algoma, incumbent Wayne Schmidt will be running for re-election against challenger Virginia Haske, who served as Mayor from 2003 to 2012.   Algoma’s District 3 will also pit incumbent Casey Buhr against challenger Eric Dean.  The City of Algoma will also have a referendum to exceed the maximum tax levy on financing a new public safety building in the industrial park.  The school districts of Luxemburg-Casco and Algoma have board member positions to fill.
