Care to guess why the new 24th stretches into Monroe County?
Maybe these numbers from the 2010 gubernatorial election will help.
Scott Walker, with nearly 58% of the vote.

The Republican Challengers
Steve Abrahamson
Republican Senate hopefuls make case to challenge Lassa. (Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, 7/27/2012)
Excerpt: Abrahamson, of Wisconsin Rapids, said he was a "common person with common sense" who was running to restore faith and values in state government.
OK, still trying to find out more about this guy.
24th Senate District questionnaire: Steve Abrahamson, Republican. (Stevens Point Journal, 8/5/2012)
Excerpt: My work history includes many leadership positions that I had to show great work ethics and a sound mind to obtain. A common sense approach goes a long way for a person to obtain their goals by being rewarded on merit.
Let's move on.
Scott Noble or John Goodman?
About: My name is Scott Kenneth Noble, and I am the conservative candidate running for state senate in Wisconsin’s 24th district.
I am a life long Wood County resident, and a graduate of UW-Stevens Point.
I currently manage my family’s business, the Marshfield Professional Center, where we offer a rental facility that caters to both individuals and businesses. I find that environment to be very suitable to my personality, as I'm also licensed in social work and teaching.
In addition to having sat on the Board of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Wisconsin, I am also a former Marshfield Alderman. While on the Council, I learned that changing policy requires everyday citizens to become engaged and active in their local government. Attending or volunteering locally for committees, your city council, or school board help people learn first hand how things are run. Doing just that fueled my passion to run for higher office.
Noble coordinated an unsuccessful recall effort against Lassa in 2011.
