Proving that every vote counts, Dan Kiehnau won the race for Egg Harbor Supervisor #2 by just a single vote Tuesday, defeating Kurt Krauel 128 – 127.
In Liberty Grove, John Lowry routed former town chairman Charlie Most, 492 votes to 222 and was selected the new town chairman. He’ll replace Bill Casey, who’s retiring.
Sturgeon Bay’s City Council will have a new makeup, as incumbents Ben Meyer and James Michaud both fell. Dan Wiegand unseated Meyer, and John Lodl defeated James Michaud.
In Baileys Harbor, Peter Jacobs and Dale Williams were re-elected as Supervisors. Don Sitte came in third, 38 votes behind Williams, who resigned his seat last month to bid on a town sewer project. If he completes the project and is paid for the work by April 12, he can take his seat on the board. If not, the board will appoint someone to take the seat.
Tim Jessen held on to his Washington Island Chair seat easily, beating Ron Overdahl. The island’s school referendum squeaked by with 242 YES votes to 236 NOs.
Miriam Erickson, Martha Luber Pelrine, and Lynea Hickey were selected for the Gibraltar School Board, and John Cox kept his position as Ephraim Village President.
