With absentee ballots in the hands of some voters, you can learn more about the candidates running for Wisconsin’s Eighth Congressional District this week. Congressional candidates Andre Jacque, Roger Roth, and Tony Wied have been crisscrossing the district several weeks before the August 13th primary. Jacque currently represents Door and Kewaunee counties as the First District State Senator. Roth was the State Senate President from 2017 to 2021 and served in the Senate until 2023. Wied ran a successful gas and convenience store enterprise in the Green Bay area before selling the business last year.

Moderated by conservative radio host Joe Giganti, the debate will take place on Friday at the Providence Academy in Howard from 6 to 8 p.m.

The news comes amidst the Republican National Convention going on in Milwaukee. On its opening night, it was announced that Ohio U.S. Senator JD Vance would be the running mate for former President Donald Trump in his bid for the White House.

The debate is a ticketed event, and the proceeds will support Desert Veterans of Wisconsin. More details are available here.
