The Democratic Challenger

Wisconsin Eye interview but no campaign website.  Nothing I can find, anyway.  (Not the Scott Woods I'm looking for.)

Woods ran against Nass in 2006 and lost by a 2-1 margin.

The Libertarian Challenger.  Terry Virgil.
Virgil ran in the 2012 Scott Fitzgerald recall as a Libertarian and garnered 760 votes, or 0.9% of the total.   He was also the Libertarian candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2010.
