Former Salem School Board member Steve Brown of Salem has scheduled two press conferences Friday at which he is expected to announce a run at the 66th State Assembly seat now held by state Rep. Samantha Kerkman, R-Randall.
Brown is expected to run as a Democrat.
Brown has been making the rounds of local municipal meetings of late, but would not comment on why.
The 66th District includes most of Western Kenosha County expect for some of eastern Bristol and Wheatland. Much of Somers also is in the district as is Burlington.
Before you make a decision between Kerkman and Brown, examine their politics and their past statements VERY carefully. Some comments that have been made in public meetings are very telling.
