IRON COUNTY Results of the April 1st local elections in Iron County, WI from Woodsperson
Stella Report’s take on the situation: KOCH MONEY DIDN’T WORK: Note that Krall is an iron mine supporter who was erroneously labeled a ‘radical environmentalist’ by a very sloppy recent Koch mailing.:
“Three of the seven persons targeted by Americans for Prosperity because they were challenging pro-mining incumbents were elected to the Iron County Board Tuesday. It is hard to say what effect, if any, the Koch-backed group had on the outcomes of the races, but they certainly did not achieve their goals in these three races. Vic Ouimette, Karl Krall and Brian Matson all succeeded in unseating incumbents, despite attacks from the heavily bankrolled right wing group.” – more at Stella Report

KENOSHA
Knotsies and Koch money were active in Kenosha’s school board election. It had an impact.
From Kenosha News (reported at approx. 11PM): Dan Wade and Gary Kunich continue to lead the Kenosha Unified School Board race, now with 63 of 96 polls reporting. The totals were 4,378 votes for Wade, 4,073 for Kunich, 3,560 for Mike Falkofske and 3,280 for Jo Ann Taube.
As reported by Jeff Simpson, ‘Dan Wade is Kristy “Knot My Wisconsin” Lacroix’s father’. Lacroix is the anti-union teacher featured in pro-Walker ads of 2011. Later Lacroix signed on to lawsuits supportive of Wisconsin Act 10. Wade and Kunich campaigned together calling themselves ‘reform-minded candidates’.
