Major updates on election post
New candidates emerge on the city council
I try not to spam your inboxes typically, but I had to make an exception here. Because a number of new candidates have emerged since our last post. The city clerk’s office put out a pretty late posting and the number of contested races has grown on the city council - there are now six contested races, and the potential for seven new council members. That’s more than half the council.
I promise I won’t make a habit of this sort of thing. But the updates were significant enough that it warranted another email. (I also fixed Orlando’s name and noted the correction.)
Here is the updated post:
An election update: Wausau and Marathon County
UPDATE: The Wausau city clerk’s office put out an update late Friday, and remarkably it contains a number of new candidates we didn’t know about when we wrote the original post. It’s unusual for new candidates to emerge so late in the game but my theory is that they took out the paperwork online and so were only reflected in the clerk’s information when they turned everything in.
