Challengers emerge in Kewaunee County races

You will see some new names on the ballot in Kewaunee County with two weeks remaining before the nomination papers deadline.

 

For the Kewaunee County Board, Lisa Cochart is poised to replace District 7 Supervisor Timothy Kinnard after he filed a notice of noncandidacy on Nov. 10. Cochart joins Gerald Paape (District 1, incumbent), Doak Baker (District 4, incumbent), Milt Swagel (District 12, incumbent), Robert Obry (District 12, challenger), Wendy Shelton (District 19, incumbent), and Joanne Lazansky (District 20, incumbent) as candidates.

 

A three-way race is also forming in District 18, where incumbent Jeffrey Vollenweider could face challenges from Jason Jelinek and Thomas Schneider. Scott Browne (District 10) and Steven Agamaite (District 3) are the only incumbent county board supervisors who have not declared their intentions for the upcoming election.

 

In Kewaunee, Jelinek is also challenging Vollenweider for the mayoral post, filing a declaration of candidacy. Schneider has filed nomination papers to fill Roberta Jeanquart’s District 1 seat on the Kewaunee City Council, as has Perry Castrovillari Sr. for District 3. A new candidate for District 2 will need to emerge in the next two weeks after James Brewster filed noncandidacy papers.

 

In Algoma, Mayor Steve Lautenbach has filed noncandidacy paperwork, with James Winter potentially taking over after taking out nomination papers. Incumbents Kevin Schmidt (District 1), Scott Meverden (District 2), and Amy Johnson (District 4), along with challenger Kenneth Taylor (District 3), have also taken out paperwork to run for Algoma City Council.

 

Nomination papers are due to municipal clerks by Jan. 6 at 5 p.m.
