If you plan to run for state or federal office, the countdown to get your signatures is officially down to a week.

Last Friday was the last day for incumbents to file their non-candidacy paperwork. The deadline to turn in nomination papers, declarations of candidacy, and campaign registration statements to get on the fall ballot is June 3rd. The state Assembly, the state Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate are among the positions that could be on the ballot as soon as the August primary on August 13th. 

Announced candidates for the First Assembly District include incumbent Republican Rep. Joel Kitchens, Milt Swagel (R), and Renee Paplham (D). There is no election for the state Senate seat that represents Door and Kewaunee counties, though if current state Senator Andre Jacque is successful in his congressional bid, a special election would be needed.  Jacque is facing off against former state Senator Roger Roth and businessman Tony Wied for the Republican nomination while Dr. Kristin Lyerly is running for the role as a Democrat. For U.S. Senate, incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin is running unopposed in the primary ahead of a likely showdown with Republican businessman Eric Hovde.

The fall general election will take place on November 5th.
