Sargent continued, “Lindsay Lemmer will be an outstanding State Representative. She will keep her responsibilities to her constituents foremost in her mind. She will work tirelessly for what is best for the people she represents and for the people of Wisconsin. As a member of the Madison City Council, she has shown she is a collaborative, effective lawmaker who works well with her colleagues and her community to gets things done. She is the best choice to represent the 48th District and I’m proud to strongly support her.”

Her integrity, her knowledge of the 48th district, and her commitment to progressive ideals set a high bar for public service. Her support for me to be the next Representative from the 48th is an important vote of confidence.”
