Dan Bohl may be looking to jump from the Madison City Commission to the Lake County Commission. Word is he has a petition out to run for the latter august body. He would join incumbent Craig Johannsen, who has filed his petition, and perhaps Rod Goeman in seeking the three available seats. That's one Dem (Craig) and two GOP (Rod and Dan -- at least I think Dan is a GOP man), so we're a ways away from a primary or even a good November free-for-all. Anyone else care to join?
Dan's move would take him out of the running in the Madville Times District 8 Legislative Caucus, which Dan is actually leading (with two votes so far, the sky is the limit for Dan's political aspirations! ;-) ). There's still time: maybe Dan's supporters can convince him to aim even higher than the county commission and try for Pierre.
Is there anyone else you'd like to see run for the Legislature from District 8? Flandreau, Howard, Woonsocket, everybody else, give us a shout! Write in your candidates now!
Update 16:48 CST: It's in print: MDL reports Bohl filed his petition for Lake County Commission yesterday.

Cory, if you would have listened to your local radio station at 7:15 today you would have learned that Dan Bohl is indeed a republican.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the confirmation!
ReplyDeleteAs for my radio listening, well, I'd love to, but we hate to wake the baby with all that headbanging' music they play. ;-)
Dan Bohl does a good job on the City Commission and he should finish out his term on the City instead of trying to jump ship. We're already losing Jerry Johnson and Mechelle Nordberg, who are not seeking re-election. That's too much of an experience swing on any commission and I wish Dan would stay for stability. We need to find candidates for the School Board which is losing three experienced members. There doesn't seem to be any interest so far on that board.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Dan does a good job -- I'm sure he'd work as hard for the county as he has for the city. Anyone know why he wants to switch commissions?
