Door County Election Recap: Referendums sweep, communities see new leadership

Northern Door will see a lot of change in the coming weeks as a result of Tuesday's election.

 

On the referendum side, all three passed in resounding fashion. Gibraltar Area Schools will get a $29.8 million overhaul thanks to district voters approving the capital referendum by a 2755-837 margin. Washington Island School passed its operational referendum 309-136, allowing the district to exceed its revenue limit each of the next two years by $935,000. The Town of Egg Harbor will have townwide curbside garbage and recycling pickup as a result of voters choosing "yes" by a 409-210 margin.

 

In local government, two municipalities will see new leaders while a third will likely need a recount. Liberty Grove Town Chairperson John Lowry was unseated by Janet Johnson 632-356 and Dave Eliot retakes the Baileys Harbor chairmanship from Don Sitte by a 422-196 margin. In Sister Bay, Rob Zoschke and Nate Bell are currently tied at 256 votes apiece in the race to become the village president.
