UNDATED (WSAU) There are now two candidates who want to run against state senator Jim Holperin in a recall election. That means there would be a primary on July 12th, with the actual recall vote on August 9th.

Tea party activist Kim Simac announced earlier this month that she would run for Holperin's seat. Yesterday Lincoln County board chairman Robert Lussow announced that he will too.

Holperin is one of nine state senators facing recall. Three - including Holperin - are democrats. Six are Republicans.
