Brown County commissioners approved a joint-resolution notification for a 2026 joint primary contract presented by Speaker 9.
Speaker 9 described the joint-resolution contract between both parties and asked for authorization; Speaker 2 noted there was no county expense associated with the notice. Speaker 4 moved to approve the joint-resolution information for the primary and the court carried the matter forward.
Speaker 9 also noted the expected level of contest on both party ballots: "We have 33 contested races on the Republican ticket" and "24 contested races on the Democratic" ticket, plus 13 propositions, as part of the primary calendar briefing.
Next step: the clerk's office will process the resolution notice and file the contract information as required for election administration.
