State Representative Leah Vukmir

Welcome

Happy Independence Day


Signing of the Declaration of Independence





Welcome to the Leah Vukmir for State Representative Official Campaign Website
I want to thank the people of Wisconsin’s 14th Assembly District for allowing me to serve as their State Representative and for giving me the privilege of serving all of the people of Wisconsin in the legislature.

I would also like to thank the people who have offered their personal advice, effort, energy, and their financial support to my campaign.

Without all of you, I would not be able to advance our common beliefs and governing principles.

As I approach every vote and debate, no matter how contentious or personally challenging, I take great comfort in knowing that you are there to support me in the battle to defend our values and our freedoms.

Thank you for all that you do and thank you for standing with me!
Leah Vukmir
