ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?
On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.
How we do this →ⓘ What is a voting record showing me?
A roll-call vote is a recorded yes/no vote in the legislature; 'aye' means yes and 'no' means no. A 'deciding vote' is one that changed the outcome. These are the candidate's actual recorded votes, linked to the official record.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement from the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation! Agriculture is a vital part of our state's economy and at the heart of who we are in the 51st. As one of Wisconsin’s most agriculture-dependent districts, I know that farmers are the backbone of our rural communities and a way of life that deserves to be protected. I’m proud to stand with the families who work every day to feed our communities, care for our land, and keep Wisconsin agriculture strong. I’m grateful for the confidence of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau and its members. I look forward to continuing to earn the support of the hard-working people who call the 51st Assembly District home.
