Sheboygan Falls Roundup: Election Shifts, Storm Spotter Call, Deer Season Input
It was a busy week across Sheboygan County, with election results reshaping parts of local government, emergency officials preparing for severe weather season, and state wildlife leaders seeking public input that could affect area hunters. Here is what Sheboygan Falls residents should know.
Local Election Results Reshape County, City Leadership
Unofficial results from the April 2026 spring election show changes on the Sheboygan Common Council and the Sheboygan County Board, with several incumbents unseated. Countywide judicial results also indicate Judge Taylor carried Sheboygan County.
While many of the races were centered in the City of Sheboygan, county board decisions directly affect Sheboygan Falls residents through budgeting, highway funding, public health services, and law enforcement oversight.
Voters across the county also weighed in on school and local offices, underscoring the continued importance of spring elections. Final certification of results is expected in the coming days, and newly elected officials will take office later this month.
County Invites Residents to Become Storm Spotters
With thunderstorms and severe weather season approaching, Sheboygan County is inviting residents to participate in storm spotter training. The initiative aims to strengthen real-time reporting during severe weather events, including tornado warnings and damaging wind storms.
The timing is notable as this weekend’s forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms, with higher rain and storm chances Sunday and Sunday night. Trained volunteer spotters provide valuable ground-level information to emergency management and the National Weather Service.
Residents interested in serving as storm spotters should watch for upcoming training sessions and registration details through county emergency management channels.
DNR Seeks Input Ahead of 2026 Deer Season
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is requesting local feedback as it prepares for the 2026 deer hunting season. Public input helps shape season structures, antlerless quotas, and herd management strategies.
For Sheboygan Falls-area hunters and landowners, this is an opportunity to weigh in on deer population trends and harvest goals in Sheboygan County. The DNR typically collects comments through advisory meetings and online submissions ahead of final rule-setting.
Residents who hunt or manage property are encouraged to review the proposals and submit feedback before the state finalizes regulations later this year.
Community Spotlight: Autism Run/Walk Returns
The Sheboygan Autism Run/Walk is returning for its 12th year, bringing families and advocates together to raise awareness and support services for individuals on the autism spectrum. While hosted elsewhere in the county, the event draws participants from Sheboygan Falls and surrounding communities.
Registration details and event logistics are now available, with organizers encouraging early sign-up.
Looking Ahead
With spring weather settling in, residents should keep an eye on updated forecasts, especially with thunderstorms predicted through Sunday and Monday. It is also a good time to review emergency preparedness plans and stay engaged with local government meetings as newly elected officials prepare to take office.
