David Karst, the current chairman of the Republican Party of Milwaukee County, announced his campaign for the 84th State Assembly District this week.

Incumbent Representative Mike Kuglitsch (R-New Berlin), the chair of the Assembly Committee on Energy and Utilities, announced last week that he would not be seeking re-election.

“I know I have what it takes to be a member of the State Assembly and represent our community well. Wisconsin is my home, and I am willing to fight for our people as well as uphold the conservative values we share,” Karst said in his announcement.

Karst cited election integrity, community safety, and tax reform as some of his core issues on his campaign website.
