My name is Kyle Cummings and I am running for the Town of Hunter Supervisor position on April 1, 2025. I am 39 years old and married to Amelia (Kelsey) Cummings. I have lived in the Hayward area since 2010, movingto the Town of Hunter in 2019.
I have been employed by the Sawyer County Forestry Department since 2016, where I am the Assistant Forest Administrator/Recreation Coordinator. I also have been an assistant varsity baseball coach for Hayward High School since 2011 and currently volunteer as a youth baseball coach as well.
I enjoy the outdoors in my free time. Boating/fishing on the Chippewa Flowage is one of my favorite things to do. I love the extensive wilderness of the Flowage and everything that it has to offer.
I am running for the Town of Hunter Supervisor position because of my passion for the outdoors and the Chippewa Flowage and my want to be more involved in my community. The Town of Hunter is a very unique township because of the vast amounts of water and public land that it incorporates. These features attract people with many different hobbies and passions making it a challenging environment to try and accomodate everyone’s needs and wants.
I believe my current position with Sawyer County qualifies me for this position by managing the everyday needs of the public and the numerous user groups that utilize the County Forest. Additionally, writing the numerous grants associated with managing our motorized recreation trails.
I do not have a special interest agenda or any policies that I would like to get approved. I will represent the people and do what I believe is best for the Town of Hunter and its valuable resources it encompasses. Ensuring that these resources will still be aas great for the furute generations to enjoy as they are now is a priority.

In this capacity, I oversaw the day-to-day operations of the grocery store, liquor store, pharmacy, Caribou Coffee, and Super America, now the Marathon convenience store. My leadership responsibilities included supervising a team of 147-185 employees, depending on the season.
Throughout my career, I have been actively engaged in various community organizations, including Tamarack Health-Hayward Medical Center Family Advisory Committee, Sawyer County Fair Board, 4-H Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce Board, Hayward Area Development Corporation Board, Hayward High School Scholarship Committee, Musky Sno & ATV Country board, and serving as past president of the Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce.

I would appreciate your vote of confidence on April 1, 2025, and look forward to meeting and working on behalf of our community.
Jill Underly knew she wanted to be a teacher way back in 1986, when she was in 3rd grade. She was inspired by the first teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe, as well as her own teachers throughout elementary and middle school. Throughout high school she worked in a family daycare and volunteered on the pediatrics floor to the local hospital. As soon as she was able, she began substitute teaching in elementary and middle school settings.
Jill’s first teaching job started the week after she finished student teaching, and was at a large comprehensive rural high school where she taught U.S. History, Government, Sociology, and Midwestern History. She also taught alongside the English Language Learner teacher and worked with students who were the children of migrant farmers from Mexico. There were many tomato fields in the area and a large cannery near by. While teaching in her first few years, she was named department chair of the social studies department, started the high school girls’ softball team, and she was one of the sponsors of the National Honor Society. She also was her teacher’s association vice president.
Since 1999, Dr. Underly has worked in all facets of public education, from elementary schol principal, a middle and high school teacher, a school district superintendent, a university academic advisor and administrator, most currently, as Wisconsin’s most recently statewide elected State Superintendent since 2021.
Dr. Underly became a teacher because she wanted to make the world a better place. That care for the world, the love of democracy and our country, Wisconsin, and the passion to help every child in Wisconsin discover their dreams and build their best life, is what motivates her to lead the charge to make Wisconsin the best state for public education and to raise a family.
Jill lives in rural Hollandale with her husband and two children, as well as too many animals to count.
As a prosecutor, private-practice attorney, and now as a Judge, Susan Crawford has always believed in protecting the basic rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites. She has a deep understanding of our justice system and knows how important it is to have Supreme Court justices who understand how to keep communities safe, who are fair and impartial, and who will reject efforts to politicize the constitution to undermine our most basic rights.
Judge Crawford’s career began as an Assistant Attorney General with the Wisconsin Department of Justice, where she took on some of the state’s toughest criminal cases. She prosecuted hundreds of tough cases, holding criminals accountable and enforcing our laws. As the director of criminal appeals, she built strong relationships with prosecutors, public defenders, and victim advocates in every corner of Wisconsin.
After serving as a prosecutor for nearly a decade, she continued her public service in leadership positions at multiple state agencies, including the Department of Corrections and Department of Natural Resources, before being named chief legal counsel to the governor. Following her service in state government, Judge Crawford became a private practice attorney, where she protected voting and workers’ rights, and represented Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to defend access to productive health care.
Today, Judge Crawford sits on Dane County Circuit Court Branch 1. As a judge, she has presided over tough trials, including homicide, sexual assault, and domestic violence cases. She has always prioritized following the law and getting the facts right in every case to ensure everyone appearing in her courtroom receives a fair and impartial trial.
Growing up in Chippewa Falls, Judge Crawford is rooted in Wisconsin values, including common sense, responsibility, and honesty. She and her husband Shawn chose to raise their family here in Wisconsin, too. Susan and Shawn live in Madison and are proud parents of two young adults.
