Mondovi woman announces bid for 93rd Assembly District

A rural Mondovi woman has announced her run for 93rd Assembly District.

Charlene Warner, who goes by "Charlie", says she is a 4th generation Wisconsin Democrat, and is currently the only challenger to incumbent Warren Petryk.

Warner attended UW-Oshkosh and became a real estate agent when she says few women were a part of the profession.

"Growing up on our small family farm in Trempealeau County my family and I worked hard for what we had, and I always felt that there was a world of possibilities for me", said Warner. "However, in many of the rural areas of Wisconsin that is no longer the case. I have been devastated to see the loss of family farms and the tragic decline in support for public schools. Children can no longer dream of a world of opportunity after graduation, because they are too worried about where their next meal will come from." "That is why I am running for State Assembly", stated Warner. "I'm ready to fight for the people of rural Wisconsin and ensure they have the same opportunities I was afforded."

The 93rd district reaches parts of Eau Claire, Pepin, Buffalo, Pierce and Dunn Counties.
