Some Stevens Point-area voters cast ballots in Tuesday’s spring primary in two races including a Stevens Point Common Council seat and a Portage County Board seat.
Here are the results of those races. The symbol (i) denotes an incumbent.
Stevens Point Common Council, District 10
Voters in District 10, or the section of the city near the south end of Church Street and along the western bank of the Plover River, chose the top two out of three candidates for Common Council to appear on the spring ballot. Stevens Point Common Council members serve two-year terms and the five even-numbered seats out of 11 total seats are up for election in 2026. District 10 alderperson Dustin Buse filed a declaration of noncandidacy in this race.
Zack Sowieja and Matt Moldenhauer will move on to the April 7 spring election.
Portage County Board, District 25
Voters in District 25, or the villages of Rosholt and Nelsonville and the towns of Alban, New Hope, and a portion of the town of Amherst, chose the top two out of three candidates for County Board supervisor to appear on the spring ballot. Portage County Board members serve two-year terms and all 25 seats are up for election in 2026. District 25 supervisor and Portage County Board Chairperson Ray Reser filed a declaration of noncandidacy in this race as he pursues election to the Portage County executive office in April.
Travis Bassett and Walter Leppen will move on to the April 7 spring election.
