(Onalaska, WI) – La Crosse County Sheriff Jeff Wolf announced today his endorsement of Ryan Huebsch (R-Onalaska) for State Assembly.
“Ryan Huebsch understands the importance of trained, effective and supported law enforcement officers to keep our communities safe,” Wolf said. “With the challenges our officers face every day and the attacks coming from some of our elected officials, it is important we elect candidates like Ryan Huebsch who will work with us and those we serve.
“I am grateful for Sheriff Wolf’s support in this important election,” stated Huebsch. “I have met with the Sheriff and each of the chiefs of police in each of our communities and have great respect for the men and women who protect us every day. I will Back the Badge and speak out against those who are more concerned with the criminals than their victims.”
“It should concern each of us that our state representative, Steve Doyle endorsed the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate, Mandela Barnes, who has repeatedly supported defunding the police,” Huebsch said. “Mr. Barnes’ radical positions and soft-on-criminals stance is dangerous to our families and the safety of our neighborhoods. I’m surprised his positions gained the endorsement of Representative Doyle.”
“Further, Steve Doyle’s opposition to Assembly Joint Resolution 107 this past session regarding bail reform to hold dangerous offenders more accountable for violent offenses was very disappointing and a missed opportunity to support a bipartisan effort to protect our communities. I look forward to advancing proposals that protect families and keep our streets safe – not letting dangerous offenders off.”
Huebsch is the Republican nominee for the 94th Assembly District seat currently held by Democrat Steve Doyle. The 94th Assembly District includes Onalaska, Holmen, West Salem, Bangor and most of La Crosse County with the exception of the city of La Crosse and French Island.
