Randall Melchert has announced that he is seeking election to the Assembly seat (24th District) being vacated by Sue Jeskewitz at the end of her current term.
He is the son of a prominent Menomonee Falls couple and the family has deep roots in the Falls. Randy, as he calls himself, declares himself to be conservative and his stated positions suggest that he may be quite conservative. His campaign site (www.randymelchert.com) contains position statements on a variety of subjects. He is a member of the Waukesha Republican Party.
Among his areas of expertise is apparently that of debate skills. That should serve him well in both his campaign and in the Assembly if he is victorious.
I have extended an invitation to him to engage readers by responding to questions that will be published on Curmudgeon's Corner much as we've begun doing in the Senate race. I hope he will accept that invitation.
There is, so far, no indication of any opponents but that may develop over the coming weeks.
