1-3-14 state treasurer running for fdl county board

The state treasurer plans to run for local office.  Kurt Schuller lives in the Eden area and is running for the open District 8 seat on the Fond du lac County Board.  The seat is being vacated by John Muentner Sr. who is not running for re-election.  "I have great respect for supervisor Muentner and I saw that he was not running again and of course I take a great interest in politics in where I live as well as in the state,"  Schuller told WFDL news.  "I thought it was an opportunity that I could try and keep Fond du Lac County on the upward progression."  Schuller says he’s not sure if an elected state official has served at the local level at the same time.  He may be the first state treasurer to do so.  He points out that a Manitowac County Executive also served in the state legislature.
