Ryan Spaude

Please support Ryan Spaude who is running for re-election to the Wisconsin State Assembly's 89th District. He is a 5th generation Wisconsinite raised by a welder and a dental hygienist. After graduating from law school Ryan worked as a prosecutor where he worked to prosecute drunk drivers and keep his community safe. He is running for reelection because he knows there is still work to do to deliver on affordability, invest in education, and deliver on the issues that matter in Wisconsin.

We have a month of FUNd-raisers for Ryan starting this weekend! Your participation will help Ryan win re-election and build a stronger Wisconsin. Here's the line-up:

Your support at any—or all—of these events directly fuels a campaign rooted in giving everyone a seat at the table. So whether you come for the nutty Swiss, the spicy salsa, the creative expression or to get acquainted with other South Bay members, you're helping us craft a stronger Wisconsin. Register to join the fun! We have $1K matches for most of the events!


🧀 CHEESE TASTING FOR WISCONSIN 🧀
SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2 to 4pm

Join us for a lively social event to support WI Assembly Member Ryan Spaude. Sample six mystery cheeses with traditional Wisconsin fixings and beer, and guess which cheese is the Wisconsin champion (best guessers get prizes!). Ryan will visit us via Zoom and we'll connect what we’re doing here to what’s at stake in flipping state legislatures.

Suggested ticket price is $50/person. All proceeds support Ryan's campaign. Your donation will be matched up to $1000!


Get It Out

Unleash your creativity for a cause at our expressive arts workshop for Ryan Spaude! Connect with fellow States Win supporters to turn your passion into a powerful message. Together, we'll express our community's thoughts and feelings about this administration's action through a simple and meaningful expressive arts collage.

With your permission, the art you make will become part of a public art installation (inspired by the AIDS Quilt) to draw attention to these actions and our responses.

Suggested ticket price: $50/person - $25 for under 25 years old. All proceeds support Ryan's campaign. Donations can also be made by check at the event.
