Nathan Vander Pas has announced that he is withdrawing his candidacy for one of three seats on the Whitewater Unified School District Board of Education. The seats will be decided by voters this spring.
Vander Pas made his announcement late Monday afternoon.
In an email to Fort Atkinson Online, Vander Pas wrote: “After careful consideration, I have decided I will be withdrawing my candidacy for the school board. I look forward to supporting the remaining candidates through this and after the primary.”
The withdrawal of Vander Pas’ candidacy leaves a field of 11 candidates running for the three seats which will be decided in April.
A February primary becomes necessary with a field of seven or more candidates running for the three seats. The six top vote-getters in February will find their names placed on the April ballot.
Remaining candidates include incumbent Thayer Coburn, and challengers: Christy Linse, Joseph Kromholz, Michael Bergman, John Truesdale, Daniel Dern, Chuck Mills, Stephanie Hicks, Will Dammeir, Brian Schanen and Lisa Huempfner.
