The2022 Kenosha County Executive election took place on April 5, 2022 to elect the County Executive ofKenosha County, Wisconsin, US. Incumbent County ExecutiveJames Kreuser declined to seek re-election to a fifth term.[1] In the first contested election since 2002, three candidates ran to succeed Kreuser: County Circuit Court Clerk Rebecca Matoska-Mentink, State RepresentativeSamantha Kerkman, and County Board Supervisor Jerry Gulley.[2]

In the primary election, Matoska-Mentink played first, winning 44 percent of the vote, while Kerkman defeated Gulley for second place, receiving 38 percent of the vote to his 17 percent.[3] Though the race was formally nonpartisan, Matoska-Mentink, a Democrat, was endorsed by Kreuser[4] and supported by the Kenosha County Democratic Party,[5] while Kerkman, a Republican, was supported by local Republicans.[6]

Kerkman narrowly won the election, winning 51 percent of the vote to Matoska-Mentink's 49 percent, becoming the first female County Executive in county history[7] and the first Republican to be elected to the office.[8]
