There’s nobody actually in the district who can represent them?

Democrat Gina Walkington officially declared her candidacy for the 64th Wisconsin State Assembly District in this spring’s anticipated special election.

The seat is being vacated by Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, because he was named to Gov. Tony Evers’ Cabinet as state secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

Walkington, a longtime resident of Bristol who ran against state Rep. Samantha Kerkman, R-Salem Lakes, in last fall’s election for the 61st District Assembly seat, said if elected she would move into Barca’s district.
