Six contested races on tap for county board elections

Across two counties and more than 40 supervisory districts, voters will not face many tough choices on the spring ballot.

 

Door County has five of the six contested races, two of which were prompted by the death of Roy Engelbert and Joel Gunnlaugsson’s decision not to run again. Jan Guilette and Jason Tlachac are vying for Engelbert’s District 3 seat, while Joe Rogers and Nancy Barnowsky Goss are seeking Gunnlaugsson’s District 21 seat. A three-way race could develop in District 17, where Mariah Goode and Dave Smith are waiting to see whether the incumbent will defend his seat on the board. Other contested races include incumbent David Enigl versus Theresa Cain-Bieri in District 16, and incumbent Phillip Rockwell versus Alexis Heim Peter in District 10. There could also be two open seats, with no candidates currently filed to replace outgoing District 11 Supervisor Morgan Rusmak or to fill the vacancy in District 19.

 

In Kewaunee County, the only contested race on the ballot is in District 12, where Robert Obry is challenging incumbent Milt Swagel. A second contest had been brewing in District 18, but incumbent Jeffrey Vollenweider filed noncandidacy papers and Thomas Schneider decided not to run, leaving Jason Jelinek unopposed. District 7 Supervisor Timothy Kinnard also filed noncandidacy papers, with Lisa Cochart set to take his place.
