Black schoolteacher beats longtime Wisconsin state lawmaker.  (Washington Post, 8/15/2018)

Lakeisha Myers surprisingly bested state Rep. Fred Kessler by 23 percentage points [check your math, please] in the 12th Assembly District. No Republicans have registered to run for the seat, which means Myers has captured it. 

The 78-year-old Kessler, who is white, served as a Milwaukee County judge in the 1970s and 1980s. He was elected to the Assembly in 1960, elected again in 1964 and served until 1970. He was elected to the Assembly again in 2004 and has held the seat ever since, a span of 14 years. 

Myers works as a teacher in the Milwaukee public schools system.

Myers is unopposed in the gheneral election.
