With just a few days remaining before Tuesday’s filing deadline, more candidates are adding their names to the ballot for this spring’s election.
In Sturgeon Bay, the lone contested race will feature incumbent Seth Wiederanders facing Susan Hilsabeck for the District 6 seat. Matthew Huston (District 2) and Spencer Gustafson (District 4) are running unopposed.
In Algoma, there could also be a contested race in District 3, where incumbent Casey Buhr is facing a challenge from Kenneth Taylor. Kevin Schmidt (District 1), Scott Meverden (District 2), and Amy Johnson (District 4) are running for re-election, while James Winter is running for mayor to replace Steve Lautenbach, who returned a notice of noncandidacy.
In Kewaunee, District 3 will feature a contested election between Scott Oftedahl and Perry Castrovillari Sr. Thomas M. Schneider is the lone candidate running in District 1 to replace Roberta Jeanquart, and no one is running for District 2 after James Brewster joined Jeanquart in filing a notice of noncandidacy. As of Wednesday, Jason Jelinek was the only person to file a declaration of candidacy for Kewaunee mayor, a seat currently held by Jeffrey Vollenweider.
From school boards to county boards, all municipalities and school districts are accepting nomination paperwork until 5 p.m. Tuesday to appear on the spring election ballot April 7. If necessary, a primary will be held Feb. 17.
