Today is Election Day in Wisconsin

Today is Election Day in Wisconsin and Iron County residents will elect members to the Iron County Board of Supervisors, as well as the Hurley City Council, Montreal City Council, Mercer Town Board, and Hurley and Mercer school boards.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The only contests for the Iron County Board Supervisors are in Districts 6 and 12. In District 12, incumbent Opal Roberts is challenged by Hank Joustra, both of Mercer.

No one filed paperwork for the District 6 position before the deadline in January, so that seat will go to whichever candidate receives the most write-in votes, said Iron County clerk Michael Saari.

Running unopposed are Josiah Hewitt, district 1; Joseph Pinardi, district 2; Jamey Francis, district 3; Larry Youngs, district 4; William Thomas, district 5; Brandon Snyder, district 7; Karl Krall, district 8; Patrick Hanson, district 9; Scott Erickson, district 10; John Sendra, district 11; Tom Thompson Jr., district 13; Tanner Hiller, district 14; and Anna McComas, district 15.

Hurley City Council member Joanne Bruneau is the only name on the ballot for mayor of Hurley. Jay “Budgey” Aijala chose not to run again.

The six names on the city council ballot to fill six seats include incumbents Stephanie Innes-Smith, Robert Lanctoe, Jamey Francis and Thomas Conhartoski, as well as Joseph Pinardi and Rita Franzoi. Steven Lombardo is not running for re-election.

There are five people running for three spots on the Mercer School Board, including incumbents James Hannemann and Steve Botes, as well as new candidates Eric Behnke, Tanner Hiller and Zach Wilson. The top two vote getters will receive three-year terms, while the third place candidate will win a one-year term.

Leslie Kolesar and Andrew Laurin are running unopposed for re-election to their seats on the Hurley School Board.

Finally, Thomas Hruz is running unopposed for state court of appeals judge in District 3.
