THE DISTRICT

The 73rd Assembly District is a rural district that borders Minnesota to the west and Lake Superior to the north. It includes parts of Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland counties and encompasses the Bad River and Red Cliff Ojibwe Reservations. It is a safe Democratic seat.

THE NUTSHELL

Incumbent Angie Sapik, R-Lake Nebagamon, announced she would not seek reelection. Republican Frank Kostka of Ashland faces Democrat Angela Stroud. Kostka served as Department Commander for the Wisconsin American Legion in 2019 and is now a member of the Wisconsin American Legion Board of Directors. Stroud, who lives in the town of Gingles, is a longtime educator. She currently works as an associate professor of sociology and social justice at Northland College. After redistricting the former Republican seat is now a safe Democratic seat.

PRIMARY RESULTS

Stroud soundly won the Democratic primary and faces Kostka who did not have a primary opponent.
