Winnebago Countywide Candidates
Jason Rippl
I am seeking the office of Sheriff of Winnebago County to continue my commitment to serve the people who live and work here — through accountable leadership, strong community partnerships, and a Sheriff's Office that operates with professionalism and integrity. I hope to lead the next generation of deputies and inspire them to that same standard of service. I do not seek this position as a stepping stone to higher political office. I have one humble goal: to leave Winnebago County better than I found it.
Winnebago County Sherriff
State Assembly Candidates
Rebecca Nichols
53rd Assembly Candidate
Too many families in our area and across our state are being squeezed by rising costs. Our schools are starved for vital resources, and we need someone who is willing to do the hard work to get things done. I am running to be a responsive voice in Madison and be a strong advocate for working families around the district
Lori Palmeri
54th Assembly Candidate
Affordable cost of living in Winnebago County means full-time workers should be able to cover the essential costs of living including groceries, housing, and health care with their hard earned paycheck. An affordability agenda promotes workforce stability, keeps families and seniors in their communities, attracts new businesses, and strengthens local economies while reducing homelessness.
Alex Corrigan
55th Assembly Candidate
Alex didn’t come from money or connections. She came from a family that worked hard and figured it out, and that’s exactly how she leads today. She chose to put down roots in the 55th District, raise her 4 kids here, and serve this community on the school board. What she’s seen up close is that the problems keeping her neighbors up at night aren’t local failures. They’re state level decisions landing on local families like a weight nobody in Madison seems to notice. Property taxes climbing. Utility bills nobody can explain.
Joey Marschall
57th Assembly Candidate
Real leadership starts with listening. Joey believes that privilege should never be a stopping point, it should be a starting point for action. He uses his voice to amplify those who are not heard, to bridge divides, and to learn from people whose experiences are different from his own. His commitment to empathy and understanding guides every decision he makes, because representation means standing with everyone, not speaking over them.
State Senate District 19
Emily Tseffos
Folks here are working hard, but everything keeps getting more expensive. Emily’s focused on fixing what’s broken so families can catch a break — whether it’s groceries, healthcare, housing, or energy bills. She believes if we spend smart, cut waste, and keep services local, we can make life a whole lot more affordable for everyone.
19th State Senate District Candidate
6th Congressional District Candidates
Brad Smith
Brad was born in the town of Larsen in Winnebago County, where his father worked in the feed mill and his mother at the Century Elm supper club. His family’s tradition of service reaches back to the Revolutionary War, when his 6th great-grandfather rode with Col. Sheldon’s Dragoons, was wounded in battle, and later served in General Washington’s personal Horse Guards at Yorktown. Closer to home, Brad’s grandparents ran a dairy farm in Iola, while his grandfather on the other side served as Village President for 25 years. These roots taught Brad that strong communities are built on service, responsibility, and looking out for one another.
6th Congressional District
8th Congressional District Candidates
Rick Crosson
Rick’s campaign comes down to three main things: Affordability, Accountability, and Results. Here’s what that looks like on the issues families across Northeast Wisconsin talk about at the kitchen table—not poll-tested talking points, just where Rick stands and why. This page will grow as the campaign does. If there’s an issue you care about that you don’t see here, Rick wants to hear it. That’s the whole point.
8th Congressional District
Wisconsin Governor Candidate
David Crowley
Crowley will grow an economy rooted in local ownership and union labor. He’ll take his Building Bridges Program statewide—revitalizing storefronts, activating commercial corridors, and creating jobs block by block. Every infrastructure dollar will support good-paying, local jobs and lift the trades with strong labor standards.
Milwaukee County Executive
Wisconsin Lt. Governor Candidate
Sarah Godlewski
As a fifth-generation Wisconsinite, working mom, daughter of two public school teachers, and product of a union home, Sarah Godlewski is no stranger to being scrappy if that’s what it takes to get the job done. She’s a dedicated public servant and an experienced business leader who has never been afraid to take on the tough fights and deliver results.
Secretary of State
Wisconsin Attorney General Candidate
Josh Kaul
Josh Kaul took office as Attorney General in January 2019. His administration has fought crime, protected our natural resources, and defended our rights, taking on tough issues and getting results. He has consistently fought for the best interests of Wisconsinites, with a track record that shows that he’ll work with anyone and stand up to anyone.
Much of Josh’s career before he was elected Attorney General was spent working to keep families safe and to protect the right to vote.
Attorney General
Wisconsin Secretary of State
JoCasta Zamarripa
Across Wisconsin, families are feeling squeezed. Prices are up, but wages and support haven’t kept pace. As the daughter of a single mom who worked multiple jobs, JoCasta knows how hard it is to stretch every dollar. She’s using this campaign to call for bold, statewide investment in affordable child care, attainable housing, and relief at the grocery store—not in five years, but now. These aren’t luxuries. They’re essentials every family should have access to.
Milwaukee Alderwoman & Ex-State Rep.
