Froseth and Soleteski win Dem. Assembly primaries, other news and notes from Brown County
The results are in for Brown County and Jim Soletski beat Dan Aude for the 88th Assembly District. He will face incumbant Judy Krawcyzk (R-Green Bay). GaryFroseth defeated Carl Arnoldi for the 90th District. Froseth will try to unseat Karl Van Roy (R-Green Bay).
All of the GOP incumbants, Frank Lasee, Phil Montgomery, Garey Bies, Krawcyzk and Van Roy have all won their primaries...unopposed of course. Not a lot is in on the 89th District vacated by John Gard.
News and notes: Raw numbers
KATHLEEN FALK . . . . . . . . . 10,797 57.73
PEGGY A. LAUTENSCHLAGER. . . . . . 7,897 42.23
Not a suprise. Having a DUI as DA really isn't good.
NANCY NUSBAUM . . . . . . . . . 3,999 20.52
STEVEN L. KAGEN . . . . . . . . 8,747 44.87
JAMIE WALL . . . . . . . . . . 6,740 34.58
I think Brown County voters still remember Nancy Nusbaum as the county executive, and a mess she made in Brown County. Kagen's numbers are about what I had expected. With as much TV as he did, the number of signs out on the roadside and the support from the DNCC with ads, he should have won the primary.
However, I think Jamie Wall's campaign did a fine job without a lot of money and not a lot of name recognition.
PAUL E. BUCHER. . . . . . . . . 4,250 30.86
J.B. VAN HOLLEN . . . . . . . . 9,512 69.07
Not a real surprise here. JB Van Hollen had TV in the Fox Valley and Bucher didn't. It's sad it comes down to that, but I think that's how it always works.
