State Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Minocqua) and Wausau School Board Chair Tricia Zunker (D-Wausau) will face off in May’s special election to represent Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District.

Tiffany and Zunker each won their primary elections on Tuesday.  Tiffany defeated military veteran Jason Church in the Republican primary, and Zunker beat businessman Lawrence Dale in the Democratic Race.

In the primary election for Wisconsin Supreme Court, incumbent Justice Dan Kelly and Dane County Circuit Court Judge Jill Karofsky advanced to face each other in an April election.  Marquette Law School Professor Ed Fallone was eliminated.

In the Lakeland Union High School District, voters defeated a recurring funding referendum.
