9:07 PM: Hinz, Lasee Will Face Off in Brown Co.
Tom Hinz will take on state GOP Sen. Alan Lasee on April 3for the Brown County Executive position vacated by Carol Kelso.
Hinz received 52 percent of the vote. Lasee finished a distant second at 27 percent.
Hinz said while it's good to know where he stands, he's going to continue working hard.
"But tomorrow's another day. We've got to go back and regroup, and move forward before April 3rd," he said.
Third-place finisher Patrick Evans ended up with a strong 21 percent, and Lasee said he hopes to lure the Evans voters to his camp.
"The people that voted for Lasee and Evans -- particularly the ones who voted for Pat Evans now -- where are they going to go? They wanted to go for the conservative, so I'm going to talk to those folks and see if I can't get their votes," Lasee said.
More than 31,000 Brown County residents cast ballots.
