State Superintendent Tony Evers is up for re-election in the
2017 Spring Election. The official filing deadline for candidates to make
it on the ballot for the February 21 primary was Tuesday.
Despite a long list of potential challengers, only John Humphries
and Lowell Holtz submitted enough nomination signatures to make it on the
ballot.
Humphries, a Dodgeville
School District consultant, announced his candidacy in November and is
supported by State Representative Jason Fields (D-Milwaukee) and State
Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt (R-Fond du Lac). Lowell Holtz is a former Beloit
Superintendent; he has been endorsed by Representative Tom Weatherston
(R-Caledonia) and former Republican Representative Don Pridemore.
The two candidates who receive the most votes in the primary
will advance to the general election on April 4.
State Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler is also up for
re-election this Spring, but she is running unopposed. There are several other
circuit and appeals court races on the ballot in addition to local contests for
city council and school boards.
