Wisconsin Fall Election Preview: Assembly District 70

Democratic incumbent vs. Republican challenger.  A rematch of the 2012 election.


Amy Sue Vruwink, Democratic incumbent

Nancy Vander Meer, Republican challenger

70th Assembly District.  Includes portions of Portage, Wood, Jackson and Monroe counties.

Redistricting in 2011 made 70th Assembly District more competitive with the inclusion of a portion of "red" Monroe County.  In 2012, Vruwink won 57% of the vote in Portage and Wood counties.  Vander Meer won 56% of the vote in Monroe County.

Here's an overview of Vruwink's 6 elections.

                  50 Years Ago Today: Simon and Garfunkle's 1st Album, "Wednesday Morning, 3AM", is Released

                  And we weren't ready for it.



                  Initially, Wednesday Morning, 3AM  made no impact and sold poorly.  Columbia Records re-released the album 15 months later, in January 1966, taking advantage of the popularity of a remixed version of "The Sound of Silence", which spent two separate weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that month.  It spent 31 weeks on Billboard album chart, peaking at #30. 

                  Two other Simon & Garfunkel albums were released in 1966 -- Sounds of Silence on January 17, and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme on October 10.  Both of these albums spent nearly 3 years on the charts.

                  Among a group of friends in Warren PA 16365, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, along with the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, were favorite albums for late-night listening in the dark during our senior year in high school.
