Voters will head to their polling places on Tuesday with two Republican primaries headlining the ballot.
For the second straight election cycle, Kewaunee farmer Milt Swagel is challenging incumbent State Rep. Joel Kitchens (R-Sturgeon Bay) for the Republican nomination for Wisconsin State Assembly’s First District. The First District stretches through Door and Kewaunee counties and includes a small piece of Brown County. You can click on the links above to read their answers to our questionnaire.
Congressional candidates Andre Jacque, Roger Roth, and Tony Wied have been crisscrossing the district over the last several weeks ahead of their August 13th primary for U.S. Congress. Jacque currently represents Door and Kewaunee counties as the First District State Senator. Roth was the State Senate President from 2017 to 2021 and served in the Senate until 2023. Wied ran a successful gas and convenience store enterprise in the Green Bay area before selling the business last year.
Democrats will be able to cast their ballots for their candidates as well, which are Dr. Kristin Lyerly for U.S. Congress and Renee Paplham for First District Assembly.
Two referendum questions also appear on the ballot. The first question looks to prohibit the legislature from delegating its power to appropriate money, while the second query would require legislative approval before the governor can spend federal funds.
Polling places in Door and Kewaunee counties are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
