PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. — State Rep. Amanda Nedweski announced Thursday that she will seek re-election to a third term representing Wisconsin’s 32nd Assembly District in 2026 and will not run for the open State Senate seat, ending weeks of speculation about her political future .
Nedweski, a Republican from Pleasant Prairie, said she was encouraged by supporters across the district and the state as she weighed a Senate bid but ultimately concluded her “best place to continue to lead is in the Wisconsin State Assembly” .
“I want to sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of support as I considered a run for the State Senate,” Nedweski said, adding that she was “truly humbled” by the trust placed in her .
During her time in office, Nedweski has focused on legislation related to child protection, women’s healthcare access and tax policy. This session, she authored Assembly Bill 677, which makes grooming a child for sexual activity a felony in Wisconsin . She also co-authored “Gail’s Law,” aimed at increasing affordability for supplemental breast cancer screenings, a measure that advanced through the Legislature three times before being sent to the governor’s desk .
Nedweski also highlighted her response to Gov. Tony Evers’ partial veto authority, including what she described as a 400-year veto that resulted in a significant property tax increase. In response, she authored a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit future governors from using the partial veto to raise taxes or fees. The amendment is set to appear on the statewide ballot Nov. 3 .
“I am incredibly proud of the work that we have accomplished together,” Nedweski said, citing efforts to protect children, expand access to breast cancer screenings and push back against what she called “reckless tax-and-spend policies” .
Looking ahead, Nedweski pointed to property taxes, energy costs, regulatory burdens and K-12 education performance as key issues she intends to continue addressing if re-elected . She argued that Wisconsin families are facing affordability challenges and called for continued conservative leadership in Madison .
With a professional background in finance, Nedweski said she has emphasized fiscal accountability, supporting budgets that eliminated the sales tax on residential energy bills, cut income taxes and provided tax relief for seniors . She also backed reforms tied to University of Wisconsin System funding and authored legislation addressing what she described as a revolving door between the Public Service Commission and private utility companies .
Nedweski represents the 32nd Assembly District, which includes the Town and Village of Bloomfield, Village of Bristol, Town of Brighton, Village of Genoa City, portions of Kenosha and Lake Geneva, Village of Paddock Lake, Town of Paris, Village of Pleasant Prairie, Town of Randall, Village of Salem Lakes, Village of Twin Lakes and the Town of Wheatland .

Who’s in the State Senate seat now
Per Wikipedia;
Stephen Leonard Nass is an American Republican politician from Whitewater, Wisconsin. He is a member of the Wisconsin Senate, representing the 11th Senate district since 2015; he has announced he will not run for re-election in 2026 and his term will expire on January 4, 2027
Amanda !!! Yes ! Stay right where you are !
You are doing Great Work !
Higher office awaits you on down the road.
Higher than Senator. Your time will come.
Continue doing your best Amanda, thank you for all your hard work. Blessings, and may you continue building upon your successes!
She shouldn’t run again. No one needs to hold a political office for more than two terms.
You understand that each representative term is just two years right ??
I’m good with 6 terms. 12 years total.
Just like State Senators we send to Washington. Two 6 year terms is plenty. Maybe 3 like Ron Johnson is doing.
But definitely no more than twenty years in any one office.
Do your part. Then move up or out.
But we don’t need lifers. Got enough of those already.
Funny thing though. It’s not the candidate that decides these things ! It’s us !!!
Us the voters. Next time you are at the poll and you don’t see a viable candidate running against a long term incumbent then look in the mirror and ask why ? Why are guys like Bob Wirch still in office ?
It’s apathy. Sad but true
Are we talking about Bob ‘FREE LUNCH’ Wirch???
Maybe six years total in all combined political offices- but, two terms and you’re out. Anything more than that and you become too susceptible to corruption. Two years or four years, doesn’t matter. Two terms and call it. Move on to something else or go back to real life.
Six terms, not years. Sorry.
Unless they are doing the people’s work, like Amanda. Thank you Amanda!!!
