Klingberg, who is the multi-jurisdictional municipal judge for the Villages of Rothschild and Marathon City, filed his non-candidacy paper a month ago.

The election is on Tuesday, April 4 and primaries, if necessary, will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 21. The election-related announcement with all the details of various deadlines is on the county’s webpage.

Marathon County Clerk Kim Trueblood said her office is the filing agent for only the multi-jurisdictional judges for the spring election, said Trueblood, adding all the other municipal offices are filed with the municipal clerks.

The first day to circulate nomination papers was Thursday, and the final day for filing nomination papers is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023. Candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court, and Marathon County Circuit Court Judge, Branches 4 and 5 file with the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
