Representative, District 03
Industrial electrician Jason Schmitz is running to represent the 3rd Assembly District. He is strongly pro-union, having served on the Executive Board for the United Steelworkers Local at Neenah Foundry, and is part of the Executive Board for the Area Labor Council. Schmitz believes in increasing the state minimum wage and prioritizing initiatives to Buy American. He also volunteers for the Outagamie County CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). Schmitz is opposed by Republican Representative Ron Tusler, who has been endorsed by extreme anti-abortion groups seeking to outlaw the procedure even in cases of rape or incest. Schmitz is the more progressive choice in this race.

Representative, District 57
Retired educator Ruth Caves knows from her decades of teaching experience that Wisconsin’s public schools need more support.

Ruth Caves is the progressive choice in this race.
