Tony Kurtz,  Re-Elected November 3, 2020, Tony represents the 50th District, which includes Greenwood Township in Vernon County.   

Tony grew up in a typical small middle American town, excelling at sports and learning the value of hard work at an early age. 

Since retiring from the Army after 20 years of service, Tony and Kim have made their home in Western Wisconsin, where they own a farm in Wonewoc. 

Tony started his journey in public service by running for Congress in 2014, a reflection of his love of his country and his dream to serve. His life experiences back that up - now, Tony continues to pursue his goal of service for the 50th Assembly District. Here is Tony's website: www.kurtzforassembly.com/

Howard Marklein represents the 17th Senate District, which includes Greenwood Township in Vernon County. Howard was raised on a dairy farm in Wilson Creek in rural Spring Green.  He graduated from UW-Whitewater in 1976 with a BBA in accounting. Howard was first elected to the State Assembly in 2010, then elected to the State Senate in 2014 and re-elected in 2018. Many  of the values that Howard relies on today were learned on the family  farm in Spring Green where he learned the value of hard work. He believes that our society's success, or failure, can be attributed,  in large part, by the strength of our families and public policy should  support the family.
