Hi I'm Emily Voight, and I'm running because everyone deserves to be heard and have a seat at the table. I know the art of compromise and how to work with both parties. I'm a 4th generation Wisconsinite raised in a truly purple household by supportive parents. They taught me the value of hard work and the importance of community service. Everything I am today can be attributed to my life experiences as a mom, an educator, a businessperson and a County Board Supervisor. This campaign is personal for me. When my son's autism therapy was denied by BadgerCare, I asked the incumbent for his help. My opponent said he knew it was an issue and there was nothing he could do. This isn't an acceptable answer; representatives' jobs are to serve the people. went to another state representative and they were able to assist me in my problem, which means my representative could have done something. I will always be willing to help and if I don't know the answer, I'll find it. My name literally translates to "hard-working advocate for the people." I promise to live up to it!
