Meet the Candidates: Jodi Emerson, 91st Assembly District

Published | Video Starts at 08:09

I look at being a representative of the 91st as truly representing the 91st down in Madison. And so it's very important that people feel engaged. It's really important that people are getting out there and voting. It's a midterm election, and so oftentimes our voting totals are lower than they are in a presidential election. But we're at a critical point here. We are seeing all kinds of things going on at our state and our national level, and we need to keep that energy going. (08:09–08:15)
