Candidates Face Off For 10th Senate District

Frederica Freyberg:

Now a turn from the judicial to the executive branch. Governor Walker signed legislation this week known as “Dillon's Law,” which allows trained individuals to carry and use Epipens. Also this week, hope for the rebirth of a northern Wisconsin landmark, Telemark Lodge. A senate committee heard from the public on a bill that would allow Cable to create a special tax district to entice renovation of the resort. The bill is expected before the full chambers in late January. And finally some Wisconsinites will head to the polls next Tuesday for special election primaries. Two Assembly districts are in play in the eastern part of the state: the 58th and the 66th. The lone Senate seat up for a vote is in the 10th district in western Wisconsin. The two Republicans running are State Assembly Representative Shannon Zimmerman and Adam Jarchow. The Democratic primary candidates are John Calabrese, Patty Schachtner and Reuben Herfindahl. The general elections for these races will be held in January.
