Governor Walker called a special election for the 58th Assembly District after Bob Gannon passed away unexpectedly last month. Stanek, a Republican from West Bend, became motivated to run after meeting with residents, business leaders, and community leaders throughout Washington County.

Stanek will emphasize active leadership and accountability to guide his priorities in the Wisconsin State Assembly. He is determined to address several issues starting on day one, which include protecting taxpayer dollars, job growth, regulatory reform and public safety.
“I am prepared to engage on ideas and opportunities that are fiscally responsible and respect taxpayer dollars,” Stanek said. “We need to encourage and empower job creators to accelerate manufacturing growth while lowering our tax and regulatory burdens,” he added.
In addition to his commitment to fiscal responsibility, Stanek is ready to work on initiatives that support public safety and especially law enforcement efforts to control the spread of crime and the magnified heroin situation in our communities.
