Election round-up: Dems win state races, Kewaunee School District referendum scrapes by

Thousands of voters went to the polls in Door and Kewaunee counties to decide three key state issues and several municipal races on Tuesday.

 

Bearing the weight of national attention and millions of dollars, Democratic-backed candidates earned big wins in non-partisan races with Judge Susan Crawford besting Judge Brad Schimel for Wisconsin Supreme Court while State Superintendent Jill Underly was granted another term in office over her challenger Brittany Kinser. Door County voted in favor of Underly and Crawford by more than 1,000 votes each while Kewaunee County swung in favor of Schimel and Kinser by wide margins. Both counties overwhelmingly approved a referendum codifying the state's voter identification law into the constitution. 

 

In addition to elections deciding the fate of city councils, town boards, village boards, and school boards, Kewaunee School District voters narrowly approved a referendum that will pump more than $24 million in improvements into its facilities.
