According to information supplied by his campaign, Oppermann, who has served as mayor in Jefferson since 2010, will be running as a Republican candidate.
“It has been my privilege to serve the citizens of Jefferson for the past twelve years as mayor and on the city council for six terms since 1994. During that time, we’ve experienced a great deal of positive changes in Jefferson to address our community’s ongoing needs, like providing more housing and employment opportunities. We also upgraded our downtown streetscape to help keep it safe, attractive, and vibrant,” Oppermann was quoted as saying in the announcement.
In addition to his duties as mayor, Oppermann chairs the City Plan Commission and serves on the RDA (Jefferson Redevelopment Authority) and Jefferson Utility Commission. He also serves on the Policy and Communications Leadership Council at Wisconsin Public Power, Inc., in Sun Prairie and on the boards of the Randy Schopen Foundation and the Friends of Goat Island, which host the popular “Goat Fest” celebration annually, the announcement stated.
“I am running for Assembly to continue serving our region and our state. I will work hard to represent all the citizens of the 33rd District. Some of my priorities will be continued growth and prosperity, safe communities, and strengthening our state’s workforce. I look forward to continuing my service to Southern Jefferson and Northern Rock counties, and the state of Wisconsin,” Oppermann noted.
Oppermann is married with three adult children and three grandchildren. He has been employed as a Sales Representative at Milwaukee Plate Glass Company, West Allis, for the past 25 years, according to the announcement.
