Rural Wisconsin races face candidate shortages on election day
Wisconsin voters will cast ballots Tuesday amid widespread uncontested races in rural areas. Calumet County sees three of 21 districts without candidates, while 66 percent of its county board seats and half of Winnebago’s 36 seats are uncontested. Ballotpedia notes a national trend since 1972 with roughly half of Wisconsin elections in 2023 lacking competition.

Kings Mountain considers 100-acre mixed use rezoning proposal
Kings Mountain City Council reviewed a 100-acre plan to rezone farm land for a Royster Oil Company project by Seaman Whiteside Charlotte Permitting. The mixed use would add commercial space and housing on Shelby and Crocker roads, but the planning board says it conflicts with the future land use map. A development agreement may address these inconsistencies before a formal recommendation.
