DODGEVILLE - Rep. Todd Novak announced Thursday that he will run for re-election to the state assembly in November. Novak, a Dodgeville Republican, was elected to represent the 51st Assembly District in 2014, beating Democratic candidate Dick Cates by less than 100 votes. Novak said if he is elected, he hopes to address the state's transportation budget, which he believes is not sufficient for Wisconsin's needs.
