Township Supervisor

Incumbent Republican John Kronemeyer, 70, is a dairy farmer, who has some college experience. He and his wife have six children, who are all married and have careers. The couple also has 19 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Maintaining the business structure and creating new businesses, Mr. Kronemeyer said, are major issues the township continues to face, along with the ongoing challenge of improving roads.
