Two La Crosse candidates join: Tweed for County Board, Williams for School Board
La Crosse County Board candidate Kristie Tweed kicks off the show Tuesday and Jake Williams, a write-in candidate for La Crosse School Board, wraps it up, as we’re a week from the spring election voting cycle ending.
La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.
Tweed, running in District 24 against Kevin Hoyer, dropped in studio to talk about why she’s running for county board, how she wants to get the word out on all the things the county can offer that people might not know about, and some of the issues the county has or is dealing with — ATVs on roads, roads in general and the Hillview Healthcare Center revamp.
After that (18:25), Jake Williams joins to get the word out that he’s running as a write-in candidate for school board and what his priorities are, his feelings on the big issues right now with the district — including the upcoming November referendum.
Williams is one of many write-in candidates, while two are actually on the ballot — Tim Alberts and Adam Manka.
There are three open seats for La Crosse School Board, where people can cast a vote for one, two or three candidates.
