All precincts in the 62nd Assembly District have reported and Melissa Lemke is the winner. She will face Republican Tom Weatherston in November. Melissa Lemke: 1,198 Randy Bryce: 521 Lemke fininshed the primary with about 63 percent of the vote. Results are unofficial until they have been certified by the Board of Canvassasrs, which is expected to meet this week.

As for how she'll run her campaign heading into the fall…
Two Democratic primary candidates for the 62nd Assembly District have noticed that a number of their campaign yard signs have mysteriously disappeared today.
A number of campaign signs were discovered missing from where Democratic candidates Randy Bryce and Melissa Lemke say they put them over the course of several weeks. Bryce and Lemke are the Democratic candidates for the 62nd State Assembly District, which includes Caledonia, the northern part of Racine and a small part of Mount Pleasant. Between the two of them, they’ve lost more than 80 signs. Tom Weatherston, Village Board member and the Republican candidate for the 62nd State Assembly District, said he didn’t know anything about the missing signs, but said when he first started his political career he lost a lot of signs because he was putting them in the road right of way. “I lost some signs that way and I had to get them from County…

Iron worker Randy Bryce faced educator Melissa Lemke in Tuesday's Democratic primary in the 62nd Assembly, while Republican Tom Weatherston is unopposed.
Democratic voters in the newly created 62nd Assembly District will choose between political newcomers on the primary election ballot on Tuesday. Randy Bryce, a 47-year-old iron worker, who lives in Caledonia will face Melissa Lemke, a 30-year-old public health educator and researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who resides in Racine. The top vote-getter will all but certainly take on Republican candidate Tom Weatherston of Racine in the November election. Weatherston is unopposed in Tuesday's primary. The district, which had its boundaries redrawn as part of the redistricting process, now includes Caledonia, some of Racine, and some of Mount Pleasant. Here's where the candidates in the Democratic primary stand on several key…

On Tuesday, voters in the 62nd Assembly District will make a choice between Randy Bryce and Melissa Lemke. This is a sneak peek into each of them; as people, not just candidates.
I am very lucky in that I know both of the Democratic candidates for the 62nd District Assembly race. Randy Bryce and Melissa Lemke will be competing in Tuesday’s primary for the Democratic spot on the November ticket. I am also lucky because I am not a voter in this district and I do not have to choose one over the other – which would prove difficult! Randy and Melissa have done a great job at displaying their qualifications and motivations for running in this race. They are both very outspoken and heartfelt about their positions and determination to make a difference. Sometimes it helps to see elected officials as fellow human beings, as neighbors, as individual personalities. And that is what I wanted to write about today. I want the …

Randy Bryce is a Democratic candidate for the 62nd Assembly. He held his first fundraiser Thursday at Greg's Catering in Caledonia.
The primary reason Randy Bryce is running for the state Assembly is because he believes working people are not represented in Madison. "And not just union employees," he said, "but all residents who felt like they had to take to the streets because they just weren't being heard." He is running for the open seat in the 62nd Assembly District. The vacancy came about when, because of redistricting, Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine) moved into the 66th District. Bryce will face fellow Democrat Melissa Lemke in the Aug. 14 partisan primary. The winner of that race will face off against Republican Tom Weatherston in November. Bryce's campaign mentor (he doesn't like the term "manager") Jeff Van Koningsfeld said what it comes down to, really, is that …

A total of four candidates are vying for a position in the newly formed 62nd Assembly District and yes... there's probably going to be a primary.
A Democratic primary election has become a possibility for the newly redistricted 62nd State Assembly seat now that a second Democratic candidate has announced their candidacy. Randy Bryce, 1718 Dale Drive, announced his bid for candidacy this afternoon. “With the current volatile political atmosphere in Wisconsin, I seek to build bridges so that all of the people in the State can have their voice heard," Bryce said. "Our government should be accessible, transparent, and, accountable. I seek to stop giving breaks to those who can afford it while the majority of working America keeps being told to make more sacrifices. I refuse to accept cuts to our services while property taxes are raised.” Bryce, 47, of Caledonia, is a political …
