Kewaunee local Renee Paplham was galvanized to run for office after the reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022. She is passionate about restoring and maintaining the right to choose an abortion, and wants to put an end to the bitter partisan politics in the Assembly chambers. Paplham is also concerned about the burdens on working families; she supports raising the minimum wage, increasing access to affordable housing, and expanding Medicaid to all Wisconsinites. As a substitute teacher, she is well-versed in the needs of our public schools, particularly the necessity for more investment in rural districts and in special needs students. Paplham’s opponent is Republican Representative Joel Kitchens, who has been endorsed by a radical right-wing group seeking to abolish abortions, as well as by the NRA. Renee Paplham is the clear progressive choice in this race.

Navy veteran Alicia Saunders wants to serve in the Assembly to give power to the voice of people in her district, rather than corporations, lobbyists, and the wealthy. She was deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and honorably discharged when she chose not to reenlist.

If elected, Saunders plans to fight for the rights of working people and veterans, support the right to choose an abortion, and empower farmers to use sustainable methods. Saunders is opposed by Republican Representative Shae Sortwell, who was endorsed in 2020 by an extreme right wing group that wants to ban abortion without exception, even when the pregnant person's life is at risk. Alicia Saunders is the clear progressive choice in this race.
