THE DISTRICT
Assembly District 95 includes the northern half of La Crosse and stretches eastward to cover Sparta and Norwalk. It is a likely Democratic seat.
THE NUTSHELL
Incumbent Rep. Jill Billings, D-La Crosse, faces a challenge from Republican Cedric Schnitzler in the Nov. 5 election. Billings is favored to win due to the partisan composition of the district. Billings served on the La Crosse County Board for eight years before assuming legislative office in 2011. She has focused on supporting paid family medical leave, Medicaid expansion and environmental protection in La Crosse. She supported Gov. Tony Evers’ funding increases for K-12 public schools and child care. Schnitzler is a lifelong Monroe County resident, raised by his mom, a factory worker, and his dad, a roofer. He has served on the county board for 30 years and is now the Monroe County Board chair. He emphasizes tax cuts for working families, environmental protection and rural broadband expansion.
PRIMARY RESULTS
Both Billings and Schnitzler advanced without an opponent.
