SHEBOYGAN – Ryan Sorenson was among several incumbents to hold onto their public seats following the April 1 election in Sheboygan County.
Sorenson defeated challenger John Belanger, currently representing District 2 as an alderman, in the mayoral race, according to Sheboygan County unofficial election results.
For Sheboygan alderpersons, Grazia Perrella was reelected to represent District 7, but Daniel Peterson was unseated by Michael Close to represent District 3.
Incumbents Mary Lynne Donohue and Allie Tasche were reelected to the Sheboygan Area School District Board of Education, along with Denise Wittstock to fill the third open seat.
Despite more Sheboygan-area voters favoring Brittany Kinser and Brad Schimel in the superintendent of public instruction and state Supreme Court races, respectively, their opponents, Jill Underly and Susan Crawford, are projected to win, with about 90% of precincts reporting.
46,906 ballots were cast countywide, doubling voter turnout from last spring election when 23,669 ballots were cast. In the city, 15,853 ballots were cast compared to 7,282 ballots cast last year.
