State Senator Howard Marklein announced today that he is officially on the ballot for re-election to represent the 17th Senate District in the Wisconsin State Senate. 

I am humbled by the generous support I have received from the residents of the 17th Senate District,” Marklein said. “As your State Senator, I have worked to protect Wisconsin’s checkbook and advocate for the unique needs of our community. I am ready to do what it takes to earn re-election to the State Senate so I can help reduce the cost of living, cut taxes, fund our shared priorities, and do what is best for southern and southwestern Wisconsin.
