The 2021 Dane County Executive election took place on April 6, 2021. Incumbent County Executive Joe Parisi ran for re-election to a fourth term. His only challenger in the race was Mary Ann Nicholson, a controller for a local construction company.[1] During the election, Nicholson paused her campaign and ceased active campaigning following the death of her husband, but continued in the race.[2]
Parisi ended up winning re-election in a landslide, winning 79 percent of the vote to Nicholson's 21 percent.
However, Parisi did not end up serving out his full term. He announced that he would step down as County Executive in May 2024, which allowed a special election to take place to determine his successor.[3]
