Pridemore, Roggensack Win Sussex

Sussex had uncontested municipal and school board races but when it came to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and State Superintendent of Schools races, residents leaned toward Pat Roggensack and Don Pridemore.

State Supreme Court Justice Roggensack won a second term on Tuesday night against Ed Fallone. She grabbed almost 78 percent of the Sussex vote, 1,240 to 363.

Tony Evers retained his position as State Superintendent against State Rep. Don Pridemore (R-Hartford). Even though Evers won the state election, the majority of Sussex residents voted in favor of Pridemore. In Sussex, Pridemore received 1,050 votes and Evers received 483 votes. 

Evers has been in the education field for more than 30 years, working as a teacher, principal, superintendent, regional administrator and deputy state superintendent before being elected to his current post in 2009.
