When La Crosse County has elections for its board, often there isn’t more than one person to run in each district.

A lot of of people from the town of Greenfield, however, are interested in filling a vacant board seat right now.

Six candidates for the 27th District seat were called in for interviews by the county board at a special Tuesday night meeting.

Former supervisor Tina Wehrs has moved out of the district, opening up a seat.

A recommendation made after the interviews is expected to be put to a vote at the Dec. 10 board meeting.

Whoever gets the seat will serve until the next regular board election in the spring of 2020.
