Funding
All school board candidates in Wisconsin were required to file a campaign registration statement with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission after qualifying as candidates. This statement declares their candidacy to the county clerk's office and allows them to claim exemption from reporting campaign contributions and expenditures. Candidates were only required to report campaign contributions and expenditures if they did one or both of the following:[3]
- Accepted contributions, made disbursements, or incurred debt in excess of $2,000 during the calendar year
- Accepted more than $100 from a single source during the calendar year, barring contributions made by candidates to their own campaigns
There were three campaign finance report deadlines in 2017:
- The pre-primary report was due February 13, 2017,
- The pre-election report was due March 27, 2017, and
- The post-election report was due July 15, 2017.[4]
Candidates who filed before January 1, 2017, also had to file a continuing campaign finance report on January 16, 2017.[5]
2014
Four at-large board incumbents were up for re-election. Incumbents Christina Scott, Jeff Presley, Robert Larson and Terry Rothmann were all eligible to run for re-election, but Rothmann did not run in the election. While Scott and Larson were seeking regular re-election, Presley was seeking election after being appointed to the board in May 2013 to complete the remainder of John Zellmer's unexpired term. Presley had previously served on the board.[6] The three incumbents were joined by newcomers Alex Kochanowski, Patricia Baker, Terri A. Fink and Samuel L. Levin on the general election ballot. The winners, in order of most votes received, were Kochanowski, Baker, Scott and Presley. The top three winners were elected to full, three-year terms, while fourth place winner Presley was elected to the remainder of the unexpired term he was originally appointed to which expired April 2015.[7]
Results
Note: The top three winners of the 2014 general election were elected to regular, three-year terms. The fourth-place finisher was elected to an unexpired one-year term. This special term was needed to fill a vacancy due to the resignation of John Zellmer.
