With less than a week to file, only five people are set to challenge incumbents on the La Crosse County board.

All but one of the 29 board members have registered for re-election on the April ballot.

That one member is Kathie Tyser and only one candidate is seeking to take her seat.

The filing deadline is at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The supervisors now being targeted by challengers include Sharon Hampson of La Crosse, Laurence Berg and Dan Ferries of Onalaska and Ray Ebert in West Salem.
