OCONOMOWOC - A newcomer will join two
incumbents in filling three seats on the Oconomowoc School Board
following Tuesday’s election.
Incumbent John Griswold garnered the most votes with 2,967,
followed by fellow incumbent Don Wiemer with 2,952. Newcomer David
Guckenberger picked up 2,026 votes, while candidate Tom Martin
received 1,948 votes. Current board member Kim Schultz decided to
step down.
Although Martin withdrew his candidacy for the school board and
town of Oconomowoc board, he remained on the ballot. In a letter
issued March 9, he stated the current economic crisis and high taxes
motivated him to sell his house and move to Texas.
The preliminary election results are expected to be canvassed by
the Oconomowoc Area School District today.
