Here's who's running for office in Lake Country during this spring's election
Voters in the Lake Country area will have some decisions to make this spring, as several municipalities and school boards will feature contested races. No primaries will be needed in Lake Country, however.
Hot races could include the Delafield mayoral race, where incumbent Kent Attwell is being challenged by Ald. Wayne Dehn. Similarly, in Oconomowoc, Mayor Robert Magnus will face a challenger, in Ald. Lou Kowieski.
There's also high interest in the Oconomowoc School Board, where six candidates are running for four seats. The Pewaukee School Board faces a similar situation, where six candidates will vie for just three seats.
The spring election will be April 5.
