Jim Holperin
Jim Holperin was elected to an open seat in rural northeastern Wisconsin. The unexpected Democratic retirement this year left this an open seat. Jim represented an Assembly district within this Senate district for 12 years from 1983 - 1994. He spent four years as the Secretary of the Department of Tourism and currently is employed as the business services director for the Workforce Development Board of North Central Wisconsin. Jim kept this seat in Democratic hands and kept a progressive majority in the Senate.
