There will be plenty of new faces representing their friends, family, and neighbors in Kewaunee, though some familiar names will return for another term.
For the Kewaunee County Board, Robert Obry defeated incumbent Milt Swagel 198-90 to win the District 12 supervisor seat. Jason Jelinek will be the new supervisor in District 18, defeating Jeffrey Vollenweider 239-6.
