Alfonso has run for the seat before, losing to Gisselman by 71 votes during the 2024 election. Nikolai has previously served on the Wausau School Board.
The board will vote one of the six candidates into the seat during its meeting on Thursday, September 18th. That person will serve through the April 2026 election, with the option to run for a full term.
Gisselman died in August at the age of 81. He also served on the Wausau City Council, which will also fill his seat through an application and interview process.
