Representative, District 89
Karl Jaeger's message centers on prioritizing people over big business. For him, that means working to expand Medicaid, cleaning up contaminated waterways, accepting federal Medicaid expansion, repealing Act 10 limits on employee workplace rights, moving towards coal-free energy, and enacting non-partisan redistricting. His opponent, Republican Assemblyman John Nygren is a conservative who has turned in the opposite direction as Jaeger on many of these issues, including taking the side of corporate special interests and not voting for his own bill related to the clean-up of toxic, cancer-causing chemicals in the local water supply. Jaeger is the more progressive choice in this race.
