Your Favorite Local Elected Official

Our readers’ Favorite Local Elected Officials are spread out a bit, geographically and politically speaking. In the No. 1 spot for the second time is Jodi Emerson, a Democrat just re-elected to her fourth term representing the newly reshaped 91st Assembly District. In second comes her newly minted colleague, Christian Phelps, a fellow Democrat sworn in to serve the 93rd Assembly District in early January. Rounding out the list is last year’s No. 1 pick, Chippewa County Sheriff Travis Hakes, a Republican. —Tom Giffey
