Hegenbarth is one of four candidates seeking to replace Rep. Barbara Gronemus, who is retiring.
Gronemus endorses Radcliffe in 92nd
Though she has remained neutral in her own district, retiring Assembly Rep. Barbara Gronemus has endorsed Democratic candidate Mark Radcliffe in the 92nd District.
Radcliffe, of Black River Falls, is running against Republican Dan Hellman of Sparta for the seat Terry Musser of Melrose has held since 1984.
Gronemus said Radcliffe shares her passion for agriculture and is committed to health care reform and changing the state’s school funding mechanism.
The 92nd District encompasses nearly all of Jackson County as well as parts of Eau Claire, Clark and Monroe counties.
Gronemus, a Democrat who has represented the 91st District for 26 years, has refrained from endorsing any of the four candidates vying to replace her.
