Nonpartisan school board races have become more political, and voters are noticing. In Cedarburg's race, the Ozaukee County Democrats' website strongly recommends four candidates. The Ozaukee County Republicans support the others.
Business owners in Pewaukee were told to take down campaign signs, or risk 100 more calls and lost business; a candidate in Sussex linked his opponent to the Waukesha Christmas attack suspect. Both show just how heated local races have become.
