Featuring: Rob Stafsholt, Republican | Wisconsin Senate, 10th District

Western Wisconsin Journal: Wisconsin Senate Candidate Rob Stafsholt (R)

Published September 10, 2024 | Video Starts at 22:45

I represent the people of the 10th Senate District, and what I think is good for them is irrelevant on whether or not it aligns with party votes. So I'm not scared to vote against my party and have done so in the past and will continue to do so if I think that's the right decision for the 10th Senate District. I've also worked in a bipartisan way on several issues. One of the things along the lines of education that I appreciate is financial literacy. (22:45–22:52)
