Elections
La Crosse County board races for April starting to fill up
Candidates in La Crosse County have started lining up for county board races which will be on the April ballot. They can start collecting signatures on nomination papers this week.
The 29-member board will increase by one seat next year because of population growth, meaning all 30 supervisors will be elected in the spring.
One district in La Crosse already has three possible candidates, including incumbent Gary Padesky.
Former supervisor Mike Giese is running again, challenging current Onalaska board member Jack Pogreba (po-GREBB-uh).
La Crosse city council member Chris Woodard is taking on incumbent Dawn Wacek, and assistant La Crosse police chief Rob Abraham is running against long-time board member Vicki Burke.
Twenty-four supervisors have announced plans to run for new 2-year terms, and half of them already have challengers taking out papers.
Just one incumbent so far has announced she will not run again in April…Andrea Richmond, who also represents north La Crosse on the city council.
Monroe and Crawford Counties will have circuit court races on the April ballot. There is no Wisconsin state supreme court race planned in 2022.
