City officials elected without opposition

Uncontested races in the city of Shawano had a couple of amusing write-ins Tuesday, but no other surprises. Fred Flintstone garnered a vote for circuit court judge and Barney Fife had one for mayor, along with a scattering of write-in votes for actual people. None of the incumbent city officials had opposition this year. Vote tallies, which still need to be verified by the Board of Canvass, were as follows: Mayor, Lorna Marquardt 514 City Attorney, Tim Schmid 534 District 2, Rhonda Strebel 73 District 4, Fred Ponschok 74 District 6, John Hoeffs 127 All are two-year terms. Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court Judge James Habeck had 539 votes in the city. Countywide, he had 3,001 votes. Habeck was unopposed for another six-year term.
