Former vice chair Lee Peek returns to Marathon County Board

By Shereen Siewert | Wausau Pilot & Review WAUSAU — Lee Peek, who served as Marathon County Board vice chair before stepping away in 2018 to make time for his daughters’ sports, is back on the board. Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to appoint Peek to District 9, which includes part of Wausau’s west side. He replaces Chantelle Foote, whose resignation took effect at midnight, and will serve through April 2028. “Interestingly enough, the last thing I did on the board was help write the strategic plan for the county,” Peek told supervisors. “So, I’m very familiar with everything that you guys have been talking about here tonight.” Peek said he moved to the area in 2001 for a job and was first elected to the board in 2012, then reelected in 2014 and 2016. Supervisors chose him as vice chair in both of those later terms. He left in 2018 as his two daughters reached volleyball and other sports; one has since finished college, and the other is about to finish high school.
