The 2025 Dane County Executive election was held on April 1, 2025. Incumbent County Executive, who had just been elected months earlier in a 2024 special election, ran for re-election to a full term. Agard's only opponent was salesman Stephen Ratzlaff, a former State Assembly candidate.
In seeking re-election, Agard noted that her "number one priority" was "be[ing] a responsible and good steward of tax dollars," noting that her "approach focuses on fiscal responsibility, smart investments and accountability in government spending."[1] Ratzlaff, meanwhile, ran on a single-issue platform of reducing property taxes, arguing that "property taxes have increased at a rate that is unsustainable."[2]
Agard won re-election in a landslide, receiving 81 percent of the vote to Ratzlaff's 19 percent.[3]
