On August 13, two candidates—Steve Campbell and Tara Johnson—compete in the 2024 Primary Election to be the Democratic Party's candidate in the November 5 General Election, running against the incumbent, Rep. Loren Oldenburg. Go to the League's online voter guide, VOTE411, to read both candidates' biographies and positions on selected issues.

Earlier this year, Gov. Tony Evers signed legislation to establish new legislative maps for the state of Wisconsin. Those maps go into effect for the 2024 elections on August 13 and November 5.  The 96th Assembly District map will have new boundaries.

The new
96th includes southern La Crosse, Shelby, Viroqua, La Farge, Greenwood and more, with the district losing rural areas including Crawford and Monroe counties.
