MADISON — As election day approaches, the DLCC has recognized Representative Jenna Jacobson’s campaign for the 17th State Senate district as a top-ten race for Democrats nationwide. She is running against Senator Howard Marklein, who, as Co-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee, has presided over skyrocketing property taxes, declining rural healthcare access, and a broken school funding formula.

Jacobson is running to give southwest Wisconsin the voice and leadership they deserve, lower the cost of everyday goods, and deliver property tax relief by properly funding local schools.

The race has been named a top ten race for Democratic legislators across the country by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC).

“I’m glad the DLCC recognizes how crucial this race is in the fight for a Senate majority. Howard Marklein has spent over a decade in state government driving up costs, letting our schools and hospitals close, and making life harder for working Wisconsinites. We are going to keep working hard over the last month of this campaign to earn every vote and flip this district from red to blue,” Jacobson said.

“The Marklein MarkUp” Tour, speaking with Wisconsinites across the 17th District about rising prices, how they are affecting families, and the role Sen. Marklein has played in exacerbating the cost-of-living crisis. Rep. Jacobson recently held roundtables in Monroe, Mineral Point, Platteville and Prairie du Chien, further discussing her plans to address the root causes of the cost-of-living crisis.
