Manitowoc school board race set after Tuesday's primary. Here are the

MANITOWOC – Only 9% of Manitowoc County voters turned in a ballot for the spring primary election Tuesday.

Manitowoc County Clerk Jessica Backus said she believes the cold kept voters from turning out, along with the low number of races on the ballot in most districts.

All Manitowoc school board candidates are moving forward to the spring election except Michael Retzinger.

According to unofficial results from the Manitowoc County Clerk’s Office, Ann Holsen received 1,973 votes, David Bowman received 1,880, Mary Lofy Blahnik received 1,639, Lisa Ann Krueger received 880, Brayden Myer received 793, Chrystal Myer received 782 and Retzinger received 774.

Holsen, Bowman, Blahnik, Krueger, Brayden Myer and Chrystal Myer will be listed on the spring ballot for the three open seats on the Manitowoc school board.

These totals are unofficial until a Board of Canvassers reviews and authenticates the ballots.

In the race for Manitowoc Common Council District 1 alderperson, Andrew Dunbar and Brett Vanderkin will move on to the spring ballot.
