Less than one day after Senator Andre Jacque announced he was not running for reelection, another candidate has emerged to take his place.
Kelly “Kell” Bales officially through his hat into the ring to represent Wisconsin’s Senate District 1.
In his announcement, Bales pointed out his background in community leadership, entrepreneurship, small business ownership, public service, Military/Veteran advocacy, and education as reasons he would be a good fit.
He also said, “I am running for State Senate because our communities deserve leadership that listens, works hard, and puts people before politics. Senate District 1 is made up of hardworking families, small business owners, farmers, Veterans, educators, and community leaders who care deeply about Wisconsin’s future. I am ready to fight for policies that strengthen our local economy, protect our freedoms, support families, and preserve the values that make our communities strong!”
Jacob VandenPlas has also thrown his hat into the ring to represent Eastern Wisconsin in Madison.
