The Wisconsin Green Party is pleased to note that eight of its endorsed
candidates were elected on April 4th. Seven are Green Party members, and
the eighth, Kyle Richmond, is prohibited membership in a political party due
to his employment at the Wisconsin State Elections Board. All eight won
their bids for seats on county boards around the state.
John Hardin (Barron County), Ben Farrell (Winnebago County), Bob Ryan (Door
County), Barbara Vedder (Dane County), John Hendrick (Dane County), and
Kyle Richmond (Dane County) all won re-election to county board seats.
Vedder had been appointed to an open seat a few months before the election.
Jeff Peterson (Polk County) and Ashok Kumar (Dane County) will take their
seats as county board officials for the first time.
Four more candidates lost their bid for election, but had excellent
showings:
Rev. Glen Halbe - Racine Common Council, 2/2 with 188 votes for 41%, Larry Harding - Somers Township Supervisor 2/2
with 436 votes for 46%, Phillip Peterson - Portage County Board, 2/2 with 106 votes for 49.3%, Gerry
