Retiring Guy's Digest: Who's Running for State Office in Wisconsin 2012: 12th Senate District (General Election Edition)

Biography [bold added]

Family. I grew up on a dairy farm near Elmwood, Wisconsin with five brothers and two sisters. We learned the lessons of hard work, honesty and accountability from our parents at an early age. My wife, Chris, and I work everyday to pass those same timeless values on to our children Karlyn, Lexie and Katherine.

Business Chris and I began operating our excursion business, Wilderness Cruises, in 1991, on the Willow Flowage. The business currently operates as Wisconsin River Cruises. For twenty seasons we have strived to offer our customers a pleasurable experience in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin.

Community and Civic Leader Over the years, I have been involved with many community organizations. Our business, Wisconsin River Cruises, belongs to the Tomahawk Chamber of Commerce and the Tavern League of Wisconsin. I am a member of the National Rifle Association and the Ruffed Grouse Society. Currently, I am an elected Town Supervisor in the Town of Little Rice.

And?! And?!

Curiously, he doesn't mention the fact that he currently represents the 35th Assembly District.

For 17 years, Susan worked as a prosecuting attorney in Milwaukee and Jefferson counties. In 2004, Susan left her work as an assistant district attorney to join the Americorps program, often called the "domestic Peace Corps," as an assistant construction supervisor with the Hilton Head Regional Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Bluffton, South Carolina. Susan and her husband, Tuck Daniels, also led Global Village trips to the South Dakota Cheyenne River Sioux reservation and Northern Ireland to build houses with Habitat.

Susan and Tuck met through their work and were married in 2005 on the steps of the community center in the Habitat neighborhood they helped build in Bluffton, South Carolina. In Fall 2008, after being away too long from her family and Wisconsin, Susan and Tuck moved home to the Northwoods and settled in Phelps. Tuck is a master carpenter by profession, and Susan returned to the practice of law.
