Iron County Sheriff Paul Samardich today officially endorsed Angie Sapik for the 25th State Senate district. Sheriff Samardich’s endorsement comes on the heels of multiple Sapik law enforcement endorsements including Washburn County Sheriff Dennis Stuart, City of Ashland Police Chief Bill Hagstrom, and former Attorney General JB Van Hollen who also served as District Attorney for Ashland and Bayfield Counties.
Samardich has served eight years as Iron County Sheriff. “I’m grateful and humbled by the depth of support from law enforcement officials throughout the senate district. I fully Back the Blue and I’ll fight any attempt to minimize their role or strip funding from their departments,” said Sapik. “Too many leftwing politicians continue to blame law enforcement for simply doing their job of enforcing the law. I’ll make public safety a priority as the next senator from the 25th district.”
Sapik is a former state representative, served on the Douglas County Board of Supervisors and volunteered for the Post-Election Commission for the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Because of her dedication to the conservative movement, she was also chosen as an official Trump Elector after the 2024 election.
Samardich joins the Iron County Republican Party which endorsed Sapik by unanimous vote. Tanner Hiller, Iron County Republican Party Chair, issued the following statement: “The Iron County Republican Party is proud to announce its endorsement of Angie Sapik for State Senate District 25, as she seeks to succeed Senator Romaine Quinn. Angie Sapik brings a strong record of public service and leadership to this race.
“As a former member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and a county board supervisor, she has demonstrated the experience, dedication, and commitment necessary to effectively represent the people of northern Wisconsin.
“Angie understands the needs and values of our communities. Her proven track record and willingness to stand up for taxpayers makes her the right choice for Senate District 25. The Iron County Republican Party encourages voters across the district to support Angie Sapik in the upcoming primary election.”
