Although the Democratic Party’s challenge to Tim Michels’ nomination papers has been the top story, his is far from the only challenge the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) will take up when it convenes on Friday. At least five other candidates running for a state office have had their nomination papers challenged. It will be left up to WEC to determine whether the challenges have merit and should be upheld. The following candidates are facing challenges to the nomination papers they submitted:
  • Republican Mark Trofimchuck, of Brodhead, running in the open 15th SD.
  • Republican Amber Provance, of Pepin, running for the 31st SD.
  • Democrat Matt Brown, of Menomonee Falls, running in the 22nd AD.
  • Democrat Patty Schachtner, of Somerset, running for the 28th AD.
  • Republican Micah Behnke, of Green Bay, running in the 90th AD.
