Paul Piotrowski is a decorated former Navy officer who served his home of Stevens Point for over 26 years, most recently as City Clerk. He’ll put the middle class first in the economic response to coronavirus and work to get help for working families and small businesses that are struggling here at home. Piotrowski worked a good blue-collar job and gets that college might not be for everyone, but a good-paying job should be. He'll also fight to expand access to affordable health care and protect people with pre-existing conditions from losing their health care. His opponent, first term Senator Pat Testin supported giving up to three billion dollars in corporate giveaways to FoxConn. After accepting campaign donations from health insurance PACs, he single-handedly blocked protections for pre-existing conditions from passing the State Senate. Testin would ban abortion and defund Planned Parenthood. He has actively opposed the state’s Safer-at-Home order and backed the lawsuit to prematurely end it while cases of coronavirus were still growing. Piotrowski is the progressive choice.

John Iver Baldus wants to be a new voice for Central Wisconsin. Baldus believes in nonpartisan redistricting, Medicaid expansion, investing in infrastructure repair, and an approach to COVID-19 that is informed by science and experts. Incumbent Assemblywoman Nancy VanderMeer has ignored public health experts on the pandemic, opposing the Safer at Home order and writing an op-ed that asserted that total containment of the virus should not be a goal. Baldus is the more progressive choice.
