Another possible County Board challenger emerges

Another Shawano County Board seat could be up for grabs in April after another possible challenger registered Friday. Roger Miller, of Bowler, has turned in a campaign registration statement for the District 21 supervisor seat held by Bert Huntington, of Gresham. Huntington has registered to seek another two-year term. The deadline for filing registration and the 20 signatures needed to get on the ballot is Jan. 5. All 27 County Board seats are up for re-election in April. There are now six potential contested board races. In other potential races, Supervisor Mike McClelland, representing District 4 in Shawano, faces a possible challenge from Aimee Zienert, of Shawano; Sandy Steinke, District 5 in Shawano, faces a possible challenge from Steve Borroughs; District 10 Supervisor Robert Krause, of Krakow, could face a challenge from David Kohn, of Cecil; District 17 Supervisor Bonnie Olson, of Belle Plaine, faces a possible challenge from Allan Kuhn, of Shawano; and District 27 Supervisor Jon Zwirschitz, of Birnamwood, could face a rematch against former county supervisor Marion Wnek, of Almon. Steinke, who has also registered as a candidate for Shawano mayor, has not yet filed a campaign registration statement with the county. The spring election will be held April 5. Any primary races will be decided on Feb. 16.
