Jobs, economy & workforce: “My name is Sasha Ripley. I am a working-class candidate from a working-class family. I was born in and have lived in the 13th Senate District most of my adult life. My grandparents were small business owners in Marquette County. They owned a small resort and landscaping business on Montello Lake. My father was a mechanic, worked road construction and is a proud Vietnam veteran. I was the first person on my mother’s side of the family to graduate from college.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Public education & schools: “I’m a teacher and we all know that people don’t choose to be educators to become rich and powerful. I’ve spent much of my life teaching GED and HSED classes to low-income adults because I truly believe in the value of a great education. I chose to become an educator to help my community and make a difference, which is also why I chose to run for Wisconsin State Senate. I want to help the community that I love and make a positive impact that truly helps people. I saw a need for change and made a decision to do something about it.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Public education & schools: “I graduated from UW Stevens Point with a bachelor’s degree in broad field social sciences, history, and education. I’ve worked in several local, county, and state positions so I have first-hand knowledge of how government works. I worked at a small, local pharmacy for 8 years while putting myself through college as a single mom and I have a degree in medical coding.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
