Though he is new to his current role, you might already be familiar with new Kewaunee Mayor Jeff Vollenweider. The local business owner ran unopposed in his election campaign to capture the seat once held by Jason Jelinek. Like Jelinek, Vollenweider changed seats in the Kewaunee Common Council chambers where he previously served as an alderperson for the city’s First District. Vollenweider says he felt like it was the right time to run and he is excited to get going once they get the right people into place. 

Vollenweider pulls double duty at the county level as well, representing the 18th District on the Kewaunee County Board.
