State Representative Joel Kitchens announced Tuesday his intentions to run for a fourth term representing the first district in the Wisconsin Assembly. During his current term, the Sturgeon Bay Republican has helped lead efforts in education and the environment as members of the Speaker’s Task Force on Water Quality and the Blue Ribbon Committee on School Funding. He says getting the state back to where it was before the COVID-19 pandemic will be a priority.
Rep. Kitchens is the first Republican and the second candidate to announce their intentions to run this fall for the First Assembly District. Kim Delorit Jensen announced her candidacy as a potential Democratic challenger on Monday.
