Social worker and dairy farmer Jeff Foster frames his campaign around the values of freedom, family, and community. He recognizes that rural healthcare is in crisis, and the 67th district needs mental health support and expansion of Medicaid. As a grandfather of five, Foster is well aware of the unaffordable cost of healthcare for many Wisconsin families, and will also fight for paid family medical leave. His experience as a livestock farmer taught him about the importance of environmental sustainability and wisely stewarding our natural resources. Foster supports measures to address out-of-control housing costs and believes in the right to choose an abortion. Opposing Foster is Republican Representative Dave Armstrong, who has previously been endorsed by a radical anti-abortion group that wants to ban the procedure without exception. Jeff Foster is the progressive choice in this race.

Pulcher is opposed by Republican Representative Rob Summerfeld, who has been previously endorsed by an extremist anti-abortion group that wants to ban abortion without exception in Wisconsin. Richard Pulcher is the more progressive choice in this race.
