BOYCEVILLE — Six candidates are running for three positions on the Boyceville Village Board in the April 7 election.
The candidates are Jonathan Farrell, Laura Kincade, Michael Ludwig, Megan Mittlestadt, Robert Rieckenberg and Keith Sorensen.
The Tribune Press Reporter sent out questionnaires to the candidates.
Here are Michael Ludwig’s answers to the questionnaire.
• What is your occupation?
Finishing Tech in prototype shop. Mechanic and general repair person when not “working”.
• Tell us about your family.
Wife Lynnette, six adult children, and three grandchildren.
• Why did you decide to run for election?
I’ve been in Boyceville for almost 20 years and it looks like I’m here for the long run. I decided I should get more involved with things in the village.
• What makes you suited to serve on the village board?
I do not have any experience with small town politics, but I think I make well-thought decisions and take into account all sides and factors when making said decisions. As far as education goes, I graduated from Bayfield High School in 1987 with honors. From there, I attended UW-Stout. After changing majors a couple of times, I graduated with a BS in Industrial Technology in 1992.
• What issues do you see as being the most important for Boyceville?
The issues I see as most important in the village are opportunities and activities for the young folks in our community, assistance for the elderly, business development, and proper spending of taxpayer money.
• Why are you the best candidate?
I do not claim to be the best candidate for the position. I do not know the stances of the other candidates on the issues I am concerned about. I do offer a fresh voice and, as mentioned above, I believe I make well-thought decisions.
