Acccording to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Sargent was the first fall candidate to complete the signature gathering process.

“Despite the snow, ice, and wind, neighbors and friends came to assist in gathering nomination signatures,” said Sargent. “I am honored to have amazing supporters.

“I know that when we work together we can build a Wisconsin that works for all of us,” added Sargent.
“My neighbors share my commitment to making sure Wisconsin is once again a state where everyone is safe, can reach for their dreams, and where we invest in a better tomorrow.”
