The environment, education, and the economy are common themes the candidates running for the Assembly District 1 seat have been hearing as they have started to talk to voters.

Sturgeon Bay Republican Rep. Joel Kitchens says those topics have been creeping back into conversations after the COVID-19 pandemic dominated not just the news, but also his phone lines.

His challenger, Egg Harbor Democrat Kim Delorit Jensen says healthcare has been another common conversation topic for voters.

Rep. Kitchens and Jensen are currently running unopposed in their August primary ahead of the November general election.
