Wisconsin 2018 elections UPDATE: Who won in the 70th Assembly District?


First thing every morning, Nancy VanderMeer (R-Tomah), just elected to serve a third term in the Assembly, thanks her lucky stars for redistricting.

It's more than 100 miles from the northeastern corner to the southwestern corner of the 70th.

Legislative redistricting would carve up county.  (La Crosse Tribune, 6/13/2011)
The GOP disputes that, though. Jackson County Republican Party chair Jerry Sweeney said the gerrymandering accusation is “a distraction.” 
“Whether it’s going to help some win more elections or not, I just don’t see that,” Sweeney said. “The issues right now are jobs and the economy and getting things rolling. When it comes right down to it, people are going to vote on the issues — no matter where they live.” 
Jerry, you know it, I know it.  This particular job of redistricting had just one purpose:  To make sure Amy Sue Vruwink did not serve another term in the Assembly after the 2013-2014 session.  Mission accomplished.
