Social worker and dairy farmer Jeff Foster frames his campaign around the values of freedom, family, and community. He recognizes that rural healthcare is in crisis, and the 67th district needs mental health support and expansion of Medicaid. As a grandfather of five, Foster is well aware of the unaffordable cost of healthcare for many Wisconsin families, and will also fight for paid family medical leave. His experience as a livestock farmer taught him about the importance of environmental sustainability and wisely stewarding our natural resources. Foster supports measures to address out-of-control housing costs and believes in the right to choose an abortion. Opposing Foster is Republican Representative Dave Armstrong, who has previously been endorsed by a radical anti-abortion group that wants to ban the procedure without exception. Jeff Foster is the progressive choice in this race.

Richard Pulcher has served his community in several capacities over the last two decades: as a union steward, a volunteer firefighter, a first responder, and an EMT basic. He believes the Golden Rule should be the guiding principle for our government. Pulcher will fight for accessible, quality healthcare and inclusive economic growth, as well as thriving public schools and sustainable business practices. Pulcher is opposed by Republican Representative Rob Summerfeld, who has been previously endorsed by an extremist anti-abortion group that wants to ban abortion without exception in Wisconsin. Richard Pulcher is the more progressive choice in this race.

Roger Halls is the progressive choice in this race.

An Eau Claire native, Representative Jodi Emerson feels compelled to run for reelection to the Assembly by challenges in education, healthcare, and a lack of well-paid jobs. After being diagnosed with a chronic health condition, Emerson saw firsthand the importance of affordable and accessible healthcare for all - a value that has become more relevant than ever in light of the devastating hospital and clinic closures in the Chippewa Valley area recently. She is also an advocate for social justice, more education funding, and protecting natural resources. She authored a bill to phase out Wisconsin's private school voucher program and has been a strong defender of Wisconsin's democracy as a member of the Assembly Campaigns & Elections Committee. Emerson also sits on the Wisconsin Anti-Human Trafficking Consortium. Her opponent is Republican candidate Michele Skinner. Emerson is the progressive choice in this race.

Joe Plouff has been a resident of western Wisconsin for almost 50 years, and has previously served the region on the Menominee City Council, the Dunn County Board of Supervisors, and the State Assembly. His board experience in Dunn County taught him that counties continue to be underfunded, compromising public safety, and the state must increase its support. While Plouff served in the Assembly, he pushed for environmental protections, sensible gun control, and fully funding our public schools. He understands that clean water is a basic human right, as well as an essential piece of economic development, and supports the right to choose an abortion. Also running in the 92nd Assembly District is Republican Representative Clint Moses, who has previously been endorsed by an extreme anti-abortion group seeking to outlaw the procedure in Wisconsin. Joe Plouff is the progressive choice in this race.
