Unfortunately, it appears as though your county needs a mass deprogramming effort. Too many Trump cultists. Perhaps the contaminated groundwater has something to do with it.

Conservation groups and county residents applauded the new permit conditions Friday. But county resident Jodi Parins told the Journal Sentinel that she's worried Democratic Gov. Tony Evers may lose reelection in November and a Republican administration could change how the DNR handles permits.
6/23/2021 update, "Kewaunee County: More cows than people and contaminated wells all over the place", starts here.
Wisconsin Watch, 6/23/2021
Kewaunee County, where cattle outnumber people nearly 5 to 1, has been at the forefront of discussions in Wisconsin over whether local, state and federal governments adequately protect private well water from contamination from dairy manure, especially in areas of fragile geology, including fractured bedrock, which is common in northeastern Wisconsin. The fractured Silurian bedrock allows for water to easily infiltrate to the subsurface, especially after rain or snowmelt.
The main source of illness in private wells was found to be the parasite Cryptosporidium, which was estimated to cause 250 cases of illness per year.
Additionally, the research reached a surprising finding: More than 80% of cases were predicted to come from wells located where the depth to bedrock is greater than 20 feet — where most people’s wells are located.
Yet the voters are Trumpier than they were in 2016. They must have a death wish.
The red arrow points to Kewaunee County
Kewaunee County is the 7th smallest of Wisconsin's 72 counties.
What can residents expect from the state?
The GOP remains in firm control of the Wisconsin State Legislature
And they are richly rewarded for their support of Big Dairy.
Yet residents of Kewaunee County still place their bets on the GOP.
Which is why the GOP can cozy up to Big Dairy. No consequences.
