3 compete in DeForest recall election following vote to remove fluoride from water

Three candidates are facing off in a special election in DeForest that follows a years-long dispute involving police reports, a burner email account and Facebook fights over dental hygiene.

During next Tuesday’s election, voters will weigh whether to keep Trustee William Landgraf in office or replace him with either Stacey Petersen or Alicia Williams.

The recall attempt comes amid political discord in the village of some 12,000 people, about 30 minutes north of Madison.

Those tensions reached a boiling point in February, when trustees, including Landgraf, voted 4-3 to stop adding fluoride to the the village’s water.
