Host Dean Kallenbach welcomes Ryan Sherley and Neil Kline, both of New Richmond and Clint Moses of Menomonie. The candidates will face off in the August 11 Republican primary, with the winner facing Democrat John Calabrese of Menomonie in the fall election. The candidates are all hoping to occupy the seat in the Assembly currently held by Republican Rob Stafsholt, who is running for State Senate.
The 29th District contains parts of St Croix and Dunn counties. Cities in the district include Menomonie, New Richmond and Glenwood City, and the villages of Baldwin, Hammond, Woodville, Boyceville, Star Prairie, Knapp, and Downing. Deer Park and Wilson are also included.
The program is part of a series of special debate programming on “The West Side” which will include every legislative election in western Wisconsin through the general election in November.
