Wisconsin Rapids election roundup: Rematch set in 72nd Assembly District as Scott Krug seeks 6th term
WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Voters in the Wood County area will see many contested races on the ballot this fall.
Wednesday's deadline for candidates to register to run in the Nov. 8 election revealed just two primaries will need to be held Aug. 9 – one in the race for 71st Assembly District and the other for Wood County clerk of courts.
Republicans Scott Soik and Robert Glisczinski will compete in a primary to face incumbent Democrat Katrina Shankland in the 71st District.
Meanwhile, the winner of the Republican clerk of courts primary will have effectively won their seat as they will face no Democrat in November's general election.
Republican Scott Krug of Nekoosa will face Democrat Criste Greening again this fall as he seeks his sixth term representing the 72nd Assembly District.
