(KNZA)--A Horton man has filed for the position of 2nd District Brown County Commissioner.

Roger Madere, a Republican, filed Thursday for the seat currently held by Keith Olsen. 

Madere ran unsuccessfully for the position in 2012, losing to Olsen by a one-vote margin.

Madere is the first candidate to file for one of the two seats up for election this fall on the Brown County Commission.  Also up for election is the position of 3rd District Commissioner currently held by Warren Ploeger.  Ploeger has announced he doesn’t plan to seek re-election after 24 years on the Commission.

Candidates have until noon, June 1st to file.  The primary election will be August 2nd and the general election is November 8th.
