Posted by Riley Hebert-News Director
(Neillsville, Wis.) Tuesday was the deadline for would-be candidates to hand in their paperwork to get on the ballot for the Spring Election.
There will be a race for mayor in the city of Neillsville this April. Incumbent Mayor Dewey Poeschel will be opposed by City Council member Steve Mabie for that post.
Elsewhere in the city, 4th Ward Alderman Dale Berger is not seeking reelection. Joe Neville is the only candidate to come forward for that position. 3rd Ward Alderman Jerry Quicker will seek reelection. He’ll be unopposed.
In the City of Greenwood Jim Schecklman will run unopposed for another term as mayor. Mary Domanico and Jim Horn will be unopposed for their City Council positions.
The City of Loyal is still looking for candidates for two of their City Council positions. In Loyal's Ward 2, Jim Batchelor, Nathan Hauge and Tom Bobrofsky are up for reelection. Batchelor and Bobrofsky returned their papers. Hauge is not seeking reelection. In Ward 1, Al Tesch has filed a Declaration of Non-Candidacy while incumbent Tim Froeba will seek reelection.
That leaves the city without candidates for a one-year term in Ward 2 and a two-year term in Ward 2.
