My name is Marina Croft, and I'm committed to making your voice heard in the Wisconsin Legislature. Like you, I want to play an active role in making my community and state a safer, better place to raise my children, run my business, and forge a future filled with unlimited promise.

As a brown American woman, I am living proof of the American promise that individuals can shape their own identity regardless of race, color, national origin or gender. I love my country and will continue to stand for my values, even if they do not conform to the collectivist criteria.

If you share my values, I urge you to connect with me and help make it happen! Together, we can make a meaningful difference-for our families, our communities, and our state.

◾Proud Conservative ◾Fiscally Responsible ◾Pro-Life ◾Pro-Second Amendment ◾Small Business Owner ◾Judge / Attorney

◾Marquette Law School Grad 2004
  • Marina supports the badge. As a former probation and parole revocation judge she knows of the difficult situations law enforcement encounters. We cannot lose track of their courage in this collective climate that seeks to dismiss the efforts of law enforcement.
  • Marina wants to tackle public assistance fraud. There is so much taxpayer money that goes into programs that were well intended but do not accomplish what they were made for.
  • Marina supports educational opportunities. Education is the only way for people to have a better life, it improves families and communities.
Education, Crime and Law Enforcement, and Welfare Reform.
Marina is a proud conservative, attorney and small business owner. She moved to the Milwaukee area to attend Marquette University Law School (L'04) with a full-tuition academic scholarship.

Marina is committed to the protection of individual rights; she is pro-life and pro-second amendment. She believes in being fiscally responsible, supporting family values, but above all in education. She is a strong supporter of educational choices in Wisconsin, as they are key to better opportunities for all. She is trying to pay it forward.
Education. I am the daughter of teenage parents. My mother passed away suddenly when I was 16-years-old. My father wanted me to get a job to help with the bills and not go to College, even though I had a 90% scholarship to one of the most prestigious school in the country. I defied him and went to school anyway. I graduated in May 1999, with a BA in Law. I then received a full-tuition scholarship to attend Marquette University Law School.
