Barrick files petition for Lake County Auditor

The first Lake County official has filed nominating petitions for the 2022 election.  

Paula Barrick submitted her Republican petition for Lake County Auditor on Thursday.  The County Auditor serves a four-year term.  

Other Lake County officials whose seats are up for election this year include Commissioners Kelli Wollmann and Aaron Johnson, along with the Sheriff and Register of Deeds. All of these county officials serve four-year terms.  

One candidate so far has filed nominating petitions for legislative District 8.  Republican Casey Crabtree of Madison filed his petitions for re-election to his Senate seat last week.  All legislators are up for election this year, serving two year terms.  District 8 now includes all of Lake and Kingsbury counties, along with most of Miner and Brookings counties.  

According to the Secretary of State’s Office, June primary candidates need to have petitions filed by March 29th.
