In the Early morning hours of August 15th, the final numbers trickled in and Katrina Shankland was the presumptive winner of the 71st Assembly District in the Wisconsin State House of Representatives. Ms. Shankland is currently awaiting the canvassing process that will start on Tuesday 8-21-12. Shankland won by less than 50 vote over second place finisher Corey Ladick. Our Democrat field for the 71st was as strong as I have ever seen. I really hope our other candidates (Who would have won in other districts) do not become discouraged. If you know them or have contact with any of them, please encourage them to keep up the GOOD fight! There are so many opportunities to become involved locally, and we need their help here. THANK YOU to all who ran and congratulations to Ms. Shankland!
Louis J Molepske won his Democratic Primary on Tuesday as well. Congratulations to our new presumptive Portage County D.A. I say presumptive because Mr. Molepske has no republican challenger as he did in the primary where he faced Veronica Isherwood who was running as a Democrat but refused to join the Democratic Party. Molepske won the election by a wide margin. Congratulations Mr. Molepske!
