(Berlin, WI…) Republican candidate for the 57th Assembly District, Kevin Krentz filed his campaign’s finance report today posting more than $66,000 in total contributions and roughly $30,000 cash-on-hand.
Krentz, a lifelong dairy farmer and agriculture leader, recently was endorsed by Rep. Kevin Petersen (R-Waupaca) who announced in the spring his decision to not seek reelection. Krentz personally invested in his campaign for the seat saying he’s committed to public service after having served as Aurora Town Board Chairman, President of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, and President of the Rural Mutual Insurance Company Board of Directors.
“Our local communities and families are stronger when people step up to serve and work to improve our quality of life,” said Krentz. “Wisconsin faces a number of challenges including addressing affordability issues like surging property taxes. For our seniors and young families alike attaining the American Dream is becoming more difficult, so a top priority of mine will be to cut property taxes and ensure Tony Evers’ 400-year tax hike is repealed.”
Krentz has served in a variety of leadership positions both locally and statewide. He was the President of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation from 2020 until 2023, board member for the American Farm Bureau Federation Board, UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Live Sciences Board of Visitors, Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection’s (DATCP) Agricultural Export Advisory Council and more. He was President of the Rural Mutual Insurance Company Board of Directors (2020-2024)
On the local level, Krentz was elected to the Aurora Town Board in 2004 serving for 10 years including as Chairman between 2010-2014.
In addition to Rep. Petersen, Krentz is endorsed in the GOP primary election by Wisconsin Family Action PAC, Jon Wilcox, Don Nelson and a multitude of local officials and leaders.
