Election Recap: Algoma sees change

Two new mayors, a new judge, and new board members were elected during the spring election on Tuesday in Door and Kewaunee counties.

 

In Kewaunee County, no community saw more change than Algoma. The city will have a different mayor after Virginia Haske defeated Wayne Schmidt, unseating him for the first time since 2012. Christopher Schley will be on the Algoma School Board after he led the field. With Barb Rodgers coming in second, it means incumbent Joann Wiesner will not be returning to her seat on the board. Algoma will see a new circuit court judge along with the rest of Kewaunee as Jeffrey Wisnicky defeated Kim Hardtke. One thing that will not change in Algoma is its police and fire stations. The city's voters firmly said no to a referendum for a multimillion joint facility that would put both departments in the industrial park.

 

In Door County, Incumbent Kara Counard lost her seat to Nancy Robillard (former District 5 supervisor) in the reshaped District 4. Jeff Miller (District 5), Hugh Zettel (District 14) and Bud Kalms (District 21) will join the Door County Board as new supervisors after winning their elections. Three school boards will have at least one new school board member after Jessica Sauter (Gibraltar), Jeff Isaksen (Sevastopol), and Jacob Schulz (Sturgeon Bay) each captured their respective seats. Sturgeon Bay School District voters approved a new operational referendum that will last for five years with 58 percent of the vote.
