La Crosse County board districts won’t change before April; new health director hired

Wisconsin will probably have new Congressional and legislative districts drawn up before the 2022 election, but La Crosse County won’t have time to redraw its maps before the next county board races in April.

Kruse says the final census numbers for the county might not be available until September, and they usually need six months to redraw the board districts.  And board candidates get to take out nomination papers in December.  

In other county business, La Crosse County has appointed a new health director, from within. 

Audra Martine has been promoted from her post as deputy director of human services, to succeed Jen Rombalski as head of the county health department.
