Voters send Stroud, likely Green to the Wisconsin Assembly

Nov. 6—Democratic newcomer Angela Stroud won the race for the 73rd District in the Wisconsin Assembly with about 55% of the vote, according to unofficial results early Wednesday, Nov. 6.

Stroud, a professor at Northland College, defeated Republican challenger Frank Kostka, an Ashland businessman and Air Force veteran.

No incumbent was on the ticket after Rep. Angie Sapik, R-Lake Nebagamon, announced she wouldn't seek a second term after the Legislature adopted new district maps.

Sapik was the first Republican to represent the district in more than four decades.

And with all but a few precincts in Burnett, Sawyer and Washburn counties still untallied after midnight on Wednesday. Rep. Chanz Green, R-Grandview, was leading with 63% of the vote over Democratic challenger Jeanne Rand Bruce of Spooner.

Green was first elected to represent the 74th district in 2022.
