In other local elections, School Board member Steve Lambrechts and Village of East Troy Trustees Alan Boyes, Forty Renucci and Matt Johnson were all re-elected after running unopposed. Village of East Troy Municipal Judge Michael Cotter also ran unopposed and was re-elected.

The one contested local race was for District 2 Walworth County supervisor where incumbent Bill Norem was challenged by Joe Schaefer, who beat Norem by less than 100 votes.
