The 2015 Brown County, Wisconsin Executive election took place on April 7, 2015. Incumbent County Executive Troy Streckenbach ran for re-election to a second term, the first County Executive to do so since Nancy Nusbaum in 1999. He was challenged by Tim Nowak, a firefighter and paramedic who owned a consulting firm. Streckenbach campaigned on his record in growing jobs and improving quality of life, while Nowak argued that his experience as a small business owner gave him the ability to grow the county.[1]

Streckenbach ultimately defeated Nowak in a landslide, winning re-election with 72 percent of the vote.[2]
