WI-AD75: Rural health care leads issues for Democratic candidate Jane Kleiss

Candidate Jane Kleiss describes herself as a problem solver — and the problem she says is of greatest concern to residents of the new 75th Assembly District is health care.

Kleiss is facing off against Republican Duke Tucker of Grantsburg in the redrawn district that has moved west on the map, so much so that its former western boundary is now its eastern limit.

That’s left towns that were formerly in its heart, including Barron and Rice Lake, in a new 67th District, and with them, Rice Lake resident and incumbent 75th District Rep. Dave Armstrong. He’ll now be running in the 67th District.

Originally from East Tennessee, Kleiss is a graduate of Mary Baldwin University in Virginia. She moved to Wisconsin in 2007 and left a corporate career not long after that to work at Cafe Wren in Luck.
