Meet the Candidates!

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are fighting for a New Way Forward that protects our fundamental freedoms, strengthens our democracy, and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead. As a prosecutor, Attorney General, Senator, and now Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris always stood up for the people against predators, scammers, and powerful interests. She promises to be a president for all Americans, a president who unites us around our highest aspirations, and a president who always fights for the American people. From the courthouse to the White House, that has been her life’s work.

Tammy Baldwin

Tammy Baldwin is committed to making sure that Wisconsin families, not just big corporate special interests or the super wealthy, have someone working hard for them. With so much at stake, from families struggling with rising costs to a ban on reproductive freedom, Wisconsinites need someone who can show up, go to work, and get the job done. Tammy’s record of securing meaningful wins for working people is exactly why Wisconsinites across the political spectrum are backing her for reelection.

Sarah Keyeski

​In March of 2024 I was asked by community members to run for the 14th Senate seat. They said they had seen my love for the community and my efforts to improve where we live and wanted me to be their representative in Madison. I am running to represent the people living in the 14th district and to be the outspoken voice for their pain, frustrations, hopes and needs. I'm doing it to protect our faltering democracy, to be a civic role model for my kids, to be of use for a cause bigger than myself and to help leave a better world for my children and theirs.

Michele Brown

For the past year and a half, I have served under current Register of Deeds, Sue Triggs as the Deputy Register of Deeds. I have soaked up every bit of knowledge that she has shared.  I am actively involved in the day-to-day functions of the office. I have also been involved in implementing new software that helps provide more efficient service to our customers and to the county.  Experience matters. Richland County deserves to have a Register of Deeds with experience.
