On this year’s ballot, Rock County voters will be voting for Wisconsin Legislative candidates running for  State Assembly and State Senate. There are a number of competitive races for these positions which  will impact your representation in Madison. In order to help educate and inform Rock County citizens  on the candidates and their positions, RCF is hosting an Assembly District 45 candidate townhall where  both candidates will be discussing their positions on education, crime, the economy, and more. 

RCF cordially invited candidates from the other Rock County related Legislative races but each candidate  has decided, for various reasons, to not participate in similar townhall events. Should this change, an  update will be provided.
