Restaurant owner JJ Wandler is running as an Independent against Republican Rep. Joel Kretz. His priorities include establishing a state bank as well as helping the community push through the current economic and health struggles caused by the coronavirus pandemic, though he doesn't have any policy proposals available for the latter issues.
Incumbent Kretz has an atrocious record on civil rights. He voted no on this year's bill to establish a statewide equity office and was one of the few representatives to vote against a ban against race-based hair discrimination. Kretz has also been problematic on environmental conservation and land issues. While not progressive, Wandler is the better choice in this race.

But today, too many students don’t receive high-quality, inclusive, medically accurate education about sex and healthy relationships, putting them at risk of sexual assault, unintended pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. In particular, students of color are more likely to receive incomplete or incorrect sex education.
