Brookfield - Dale Kooyenga announced today that he is seeking the Republican nomination for the 14th District in the Wisconsin State Assembly. “I will continue the strong tradition of leadership in the 14th Assembly District,” Kooyenga said. The seat is currently held by Leah Vukmir who is vacating the seat to run for the Wisconsin Senate and was also held by Scott Walker, Milwaukee County Executive and candidate for governor. Kooyenga said, “We have a duty to create an environment in our state that is suitable for fostering economic growth and creating jobs.” Kooyenga continued, “As the father of two young children, I want to ensure that Wisconsin is as good to them as it has been to me. My experience as a businessman and soldier will allow me to make a difference in Madison from the first day. Ensuring a top notch education for our children, a growing economy for our workers, and lower taxes for our businesses are essential to bring Wisconsin forward.” Dale will bring extensive business and leadership experience with him to Madison. He presently works as a certified public accountant for a major international accounting firm, and recently returned from Iraq where he served as an officer in the United States Army. He is a graduate of Lakeland College in Sheboygan, and received an M.B.A. from Marquette University. Dale and his wife Jennifer live in Brookfield with their two children, Grant and Taylor.
