As residents of the Northwoods and as members of the Rhinelander City Council, we know the importance of working hard to improve our community. It is just as important that we support others who share the desire to fight for the Northwoods through public service.

Rob Swearingen is one of those folks. As a community-minded small businessman raising his family here, we believe Rob is the best choice to represent us in the State Assembly. With his experience both in his own small business and by helping others in our community, Rob understands the unique challenges folks in Rhinelander face. In the state legislature, we are confident that Rob will support communities like Rhinelander with policies that strengthen our rural communities, help small businesses grow our economy, and get folks here in Rhinelander and throughout the state back to work.

We are confident that when we cast our votes in November to send Rob down to Madison, he will fight for all of us in the City of Rhinelander and in all the communities of the 34th District.
