Ruprecht First Democrat In 35th Assembly District Race

Tyler Ruprecht

A Merrill man is the first Democrat to announce his candidacy in the 35th Assembly District.

Tyler Ruprecht is jumping into the race to replace Republican Mary Felzkowski.

She’s vacating the seat to run for State Senate.

Ruprecht most recently attended school at UW-Marathon County.

On his campaign website, his policies focus on quality, affordable healthcare.

Three Republicans have filed to run for the seat, which includes Merrill, Antigo, and Tomahawk.
