State Rep. Mark Spreitzer (D-Beloit) announced his campaign for State Senate after incumbent State Sen. Janis Ringhand (D-Evansville) decided not to seek re-election on Wednesday.
Spreitzer has served in the Assembly since 2015. He is also the Assembly Minority Caucus Chair.
“As your State Senator, I will continue to fight for the principles that have guided me in the State Assembly. I will continue to push back against extreme attacks on our democracy, protect our frontline healthcare workers while helping families and small businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, and work to advance equality and fairness for everyone in our state,” he said.
Spreitzer identified quality housing, childcare, higher education, and retirement as core issues that he would focus on, if elected.
