Four of five La Crosse County judges are up for re-election in April.

All four have registered to run. All four are running unopposed at this point.

Judges Ramona Gonzalez, Elliott Levine, Todd Bjerke and Scott Horne all have registered with the state elections commission as candidates. Gonzalez already has declared for a fifth term.

Horne, Levine and Bjerke were elected to the bench in 2007.

Nomination papers for Wisconsin’s spring election will be circulated throughout December.

The fifth judge for La Crosse County, Gloria Doyle, is not up for re-election until 2021.

One other area county has an election for judge in the spring. However, Monroe County Judge Todd Ziegler has not declared whether he will seek another term.
