A familiar face to residents of the Kewaunee School District has entered the race for Kewaunee County Sheriff.
Scott Szydel announced his candidacy on Friday, just days after Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski announced his intention to retire at the end of his current term. Szydel has more than 25 years of public service experience, having served with the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department, the Kewaunee Police Department, the Kewaunee County SWAT Team, the Kewaunee Fire Department, and Kewaunee Rescue.
Szydel currently serves as the school resource officer at Kewaunee High School, a role he says has allowed him to bring his experience from the field into the classroom. He believes that background will help him be an effective leader of the men and women of the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department.
Szydel was the first person to announce his candidacy for the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s race. On Monday, Kewaunee County Sheriff's Patrol Deputy Kevin Schmidt announced that he would run for Kewaunee County Sheriff. We will have our story with Schmidt air tomorrow.
Earlier this month, Curt Vandertie and Carl Waterstreet announced their intentions to run for Door County Sheriff.
