WASHBURN - Bayfield County Board Democrat Charly Ray, from Washburn, launched his campaign for Wisconsin’s open 25th Senate District, spanning eight northern counties. Ray emphasized Medicaid expansion, school funding reform, and increased local land use control as part of his platform. Citing 16 years of local government experience, Ray believes he is “uniquely qualified” to represent “regular people,” addressing high healthcare costs, school taxes, and state restrictions. The redrawn district is open because incumbent Romaine Quinn is running in the 23rd District. Republicans Angie Sapik and Erik Severson, both former state representatives, have also announced campaigns for the seat.
