Representative, District 42
Nurse and Army veteran Melisa Arndt is running to unseat incumbent Republican Jon Plumer. Arndt is the Wisconsin chapter leader of Free Mom Hugs, an organization that affirms and supports LGBTQ+ children. She supports affordable healthcare, clean water, and nonpartisan redistricting. Jon Plumer's stated policy positions are ambiguous--indeed, when he first announced his run for the Assembly he forgot to mention that he was a Republican. Although Plumer fails to publicize it, he has served as a consistent conservative vote as a member of the Legisature. Arndt is the progressive choice.

Representative, District 52
Speech language pathologist and Democratic candidate for the 52nd District, Julie Schroeder appears to be a promising candidate, but does not have any issue positions available online. Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt was among the Assembly Republicans who pressured school districts to reopen for in-person instruction with little regard for science and has been endorsed by WI Family Action PAC and Wisconsin Right to Life, a right wing group that wants to outlaw abortion. As such, there is no verifiably progressive candidate in the race.

Representative, District 59
Assemblyman Timothy Ramthun is running unopposed. Ramthun is a rubber stamp for conservative leadership, as evidenced by a well reported occasion where he voted for an amendment and asked what was in it a month later, writing that the provision was "deeply disturbing." The provision made it much more difficult for essential workers to obtain worker's compensation if they contract coronavirus in the course of their jobs. Ramthun is fiscally conservative and is anti-choice. There is no progressive candidate in this race.
