Representative, District 83

State Representative

No Good Choices

Democratic candidate Alan DeYoung describes himself as a moderate, fiscally conservative, pro-business Democrat. Incumbent Chuck Wichgers is a right wing, anti-reproductive health care extremist who helped a group that advocates for the death penalty for women who have had an abortion hold a meeting in the State Capitol. Wichgers is also outspoken in his opposition to requiring vaccines for childhood diseases like mumps and measles. While DeYoung would likely be less regressive than Wichgers, there is no genuinely progressive option in this race.

    Aaron Perry

    Website Facebook Twitter
  • City of Waukesha Alderman Aaron Perry believes in changing the public school funding model, nonpartisan redistricting, and gun violence prevention laws like universal background checks and red flag laws. Perry also believes that healthcare is a human right and that there need to be changes to the tax code to assist the middle class, the elderly, and entrepreneurs. He believes that state leaders have too often passed the buck on taxes to municipalities and counties. Perry was once a Republican but became a Democrat because of his distaste for what the party has become since 2016. Incumbent Republican Scott Allen is anti-choice, in favor of voucher programs, against gun violence prevention laws, and wants to reduce taxes and regulations. Allen, who is white, attempted to pass his own resolution commemorating Black History Month that cited mostly white abolitionists instead of a resolution authored by members of the legislature's Black Caucus. Perry is the more progressive choice.
