2024 Wisconsin State Legislature Voter Guide: Assembly District 92

D: Joe Plouff

R: Clint Moses*

Of the three competitive seats in the Eau Claire area, the most right-leaning of the three is District 92, which now includes Chippewa Falls and Menomonie. 

Republican Clint Moses of Menomonie is effectively the incumbent here, but previously he represented a much more red district to the west in the 29th. He is seeking this third term in office, and currently serves as the Chair of the Committee on Health, Aging and Long-Term Care. Moses is a chiropractor, and owns Red Cedar Chiropractic in Menominee. He is also a former member of the Menomonie School Board, and has been involved with the Community foundation of Dunn County and Rotary club of Menomonie. Moses was the coauthor of a bill in the most recent session to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts on college campuses. 

He’ll face Democrat Joe Plouff, who won one of the closest races in the August primary, by less than 50 total votes over Clint Berg. Plouff previously served in the legislature about 20 years ago, from 1996 to 2004. He also served on the Menomonie City Council and Dunn County Board. He’s also a veteran with the U.S. Army, and worked at the Dunn County Health Care Center. He told the Eau Claire Leader Telegram earlier this year that Republicans controlling the Assembly “control it from the Milwaukee suburbs ignoring the real needs of rural Wisconsin.”

This district was won by both Tony Evers (by 0.1%) and Ron Johnson (by about 6%) in the 2022 midterms. Moses is the favorite to win here, but if Plouff wins this seat, it likely would mean Democrats will have won the majority in the Assembly. 

CNalysis: Likely R

• Proj. margin: R+4

Modeled 2022 outcome: R+8.5
