Democrat Jodi Emerson wins 91st Assembly District

WISCONSIN (Civic Media) – Democratic incumbent Clint Moses has been called the winner of the race for the 91st Assembly District in Wisconsin.

The Associated Press made the call on Wednesday.

The Democratic Party was favored in this district going into the election, according to CNalysis. The district was considered likely Democrat with a projected margin of 10 points.

Emerson has served in the Assembly since 2019, winning re-election by comfortable margins each time, now running for a fourth term. She is currently the Vice-Chair of the Speaker’s Task Force on Human Trafficking.  In recent months, she’s been critical of the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee’s refusal to release millions in funding for health care facilities following closures in the region. She recently joined a bipartisan pro-democracy group, “democracyFIRST.” She’s also currently the state director for the National Foundation for Women Legislators. 

Emerson defeated Republican challenger Michele Skinner, who is currently serving in her first term on the Eau Claire County Board, and was a chair on the Lake Altoona Rehabilitation and Protection District. She also worked in broadcast television for about 20 years, including at WEAU in Eau Claire.  

The 91st Assembly District includes parts of Chippewa and Eau Claire counties in western Wisconsin.
