MONROE - Only one month remains before Wisconsin's 2016 partisan fall primary election in August.
Positions on the ballot include a U.S. Senator seat, all U.S. Representative seats, state senator seats in even-numbered districts, all Wisconsin Assembly seats, district attorneys and county officials.
The election, which will take place Aug. 9, is a partisan primary, meaning no independent candidates will appear on the ballot. Independent candidates will appear on the general election ballot on Nov. 8, however.
U.S. Senator
The U.S. Senator position has the most names on the ballot this election, with four candidates - two Democratic, one Republican, one Libertarian - on the ticket.
Republican incumbent Ron Johnson runs unopposed for his second term in the primary.
Johnson's Democratic predecessor Russ Feingold, however, faces a challenge from fellow Democrat Scott Harbach.
Meanwhile, Libertarian candidate Phillip N. Anderson makes his own bid for the seat. Anderson is the only candidate on the Green and Lafayette County ballots who is neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
U.S. Representative
Only two candidates are vying for the position of representative of Wisconsin's 2nd Congressional District and both - a Democratic incumbent and a Republican challenger - are unopposed within their parties.
Democrat Mark Pocan is running for his third term as a Wisconsin representative since taking the office in 2012.
On the other side of the aisle, Republican Peter Theron is making his second bid to represent the 2nd Congressional District after losing to Pocan by more than 100,000 votes in 2014.
State Assembly
Green County residents will vote for representatives of three different State Assembly districts in August, depending on where they live. Monroe residents will join residents of Argyle, South Wayne, Gratiot and Darlington in voting for representatives of District 51. Meanwhile, Monticello and New Glarus residents will vote for representatives of District 80, while residents of Brodhead, Albany and Juda will vote for representatives of District 45.
Of the three districts, District 45 has the simplest election, as Democratic incumbent Mark Spreitzer is running unopposed for his second term in the State Assembly, with no other candidates on the ballot.
District 80, on the other hand, faces a battle between two Democrats as incumbent Sondy Pope faces challenger Luke Joseph.
Finally, District 51's incumbent representative, Repub-lican Todd Novak, runs unopposed within his party. On the opposite side, Democrat challenger Jeff Wright is likewise the sole contender.
District Attorney
Democrat Kate Findley, Lafayette County's current District Attorney, is running for re-election with no other contenders in her party. The only other candidate is Jenna Gill, a Darlington Republican and attorney at Russell Law Offices, S.C.
In Green County, Republican incumbent Gary Luhman is retiring, while fellow Republican Craig R. Nolen is running unopposed to take Luhman's place.
County Officials
Republican Sherri Hawkins is unopposed in her bid for re-election as Green County treasurer, while fellow Republican Cynthia A. Meudt's position as Green County register of deeds is similarly unchallenged.
No candidate for the county clerk of Green County will appear on August's ballot. Incumbent Mike Doyle said he is running for re-election, but as an independent candidate, his name will not appear in the primary.
In Lafayette County, Republican incumbents Becky Taylor and Joseph Boll are running unopposed for their respective positions as county treasurer and register of deeds.
Meanwhile, Lafayette's current county clerk Linda Bawden will step down from her position, while deputy county clerk Carla Jacobson will run unopposed as a Republican for Bawden's seat.
