Campaign finance
2016
Three of the nine seats on the Neenah Joint School District school board were up for general election on April 5, 2016. The seats of Jean Maurice Boyer, Christopher Kunz, and Jeff Spoehr were up for election. A total of seven candidates filed for the seats. Because there were over twice as many candidates as members to be elected, a primary election was held on February 16, 2016.[3] All three incumbents filed for re-election and were joined by four newcomers in the primary race: Marlys Brehm, Tom Hanby, Lauri Asbury, and Marcelo Garcia.[4] Garcia lost the primary election but the remaining six candidates advanced to the general. Boyer and Kunz secured their bids for re-election, and Asbury was successful in winning the remaining seat on the board.
