“I had the opportunity to visit with the Republican Candidates running for the 3rd Congressional District in Western Wisconsin, and each candidate would be a great representative for the people. There is one major difference in that Jessi Ebben can better connect with the independent and younger voters. The ability to capture more of their votes, having many universities and technical colleges in the district, is critical to winning in Western Wisconsin and Jessi has worked hard reaching out to many residents of the district. Jessi is sharp on the issues and represents the conservative values important to Western Wisconsin. I am pleased to endorse Jessi Ebben for the 3rd Congressional District!”

Farmer, Pierce County Board Supervisor, Republican


Mel Pittman is a long-time successful dairy farmer and has served many years on the Pierce County Board of Supervisors. He also served his community on numerous other boards while operating his farm. Mel ran for the 31st State Senate seat in 2014 and 2018, losing both times in a close race in a district that leans to the left. He knows that to win against Ron Kind, it is vitally important to capture the independent and younger voters.

“I’m honored to have the support of a dedicated public servant and member of the 3rd District’s great agriculture industry, Mel Pittman! Mel’s commitment to ensuring the people of Pierce County are well represented in public policy decisions is what I intend to bring with me to Washington, D.C. He knows the value of doing the right thing at the right time and applies common sense in policies and decisions. His faith in me to fight for farmers and all people of central and western Wisconsin is truly humbling, and I look forward to working with him especially in meeting the needs of Pierce County.”
