The 2011 Brown County, Wisconsin Executive election took place on April 5, 2011. Incumbent County Executive Tom Hinz declined to run for re-election to a second term.[1]
Five candidates ran to succeed him, the most candidates to run for the position since the 1995 special election. Three members of the County Board of Supervisors—Tim Carpenter, Patrick Moynihan, and Andy Nicholson—and businessmen Troy Streckenbach and Paul Linzmeyer ran in the election.[2] During the campaign, Linzmeyer, who had been diagnosed with cancer, withdrew from the race, but remained on the ballot.[3]
In the primary election, Nicholson and Streckenbach placed first and second, respectively, with Nicholson winning 28 percent of the vote and Streckenbach winning 27 percent.[4] In the general election, the Green Bay Press-Gazette endorsed Streckenbach over Nicholson, praising his "grasp of the issues, ability to articulate a plan for Brown County and general leadership potential," despite his political inexperience.[5]
Streckenbach ultimately defeated Nicholson by a wide margin, winning 58 percent of the vote to Nicholson's 41 percent.[6]
