KENOSHA, Wis. — Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling has endorsed Sandy Wiedmeyer in her campaign for Wisconsin’s 11th State Senate District, according to a campaign press release issued Tuesday.
Wiedmeyer, a Republican and former chairwoman of the Republican Party of Kenosha County, is seeking the seat in advance of the Aug. 11 Republican primary. The 11th Senate District includes all of Walworth County and portions of Kenosha, Racine, and Rock counties.
In announcing his endorsement, Schmaling cited Wiedmeyer’s record on public safety, parental rights, accountability, and conservative activism throughout southeastern Wisconsin. The campaign said Schmaling pointed to her role in co-founding the Kenosha County chapter of Moms for Liberty — described as the first chapter in Wisconsin — and her efforts recruiting conservative school board candidates.
“I’m honored to have the endorsement of Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling,” Wiedmeyer said in a statement. “Sheriff Schmaling’s endorsement reflects a shared belief that leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about action. It’s about showing up when your community needs you, standing firm, and being willing to do the hard things even when they’re unpopular.”
According to the release, Schmaling also highlighted Wiedmeyer’s support for lowering taxes, defending election integrity, and taking a tough-on-crime approach as priorities she would bring to Madison if elected.
The campaign said it continues to build support among law enforcement officials, local elected leaders, and grassroots conservatives throughout the four-county district ahead of the August primary election.
Wiedmeyer, a former schoolteacher and small business owner, has centered her campaign on repealing Gov. Tony Evers’ controversial 400-year property tax veto, reducing government regulations, restoring parental rights in education, and advancing conservative policies in the Legislature.
The Republican primary for the 11th Senate District is scheduled for Aug. 11.

Sandy will serve our community best; she is local, approachable, and dedicated. Let’s vote for people of our community like Sandy Wiedmeyer and Amanda Nedweski
As long as they don’t sit idle or just bop around for photo ops. We need a backbone. Start with being vocal about sh*t
We are happy to se this endorsement. I was going to vote for her competition and even had a yard sign, but then Sandy came to my door and my mind was changed.
She is really a normal person and wanted to hear what I had to say.
He also endorses his incompetent Captain for Sheriff so………..
Her opponent is a challenge.
Schmaling is endorsing Captain Madrigal, who knew that Preston Kite was a s3xual deviant who sent inappropriate pictures to coworkers.
It’s like one great big p3do circle jerk at this point.
I really hope Sandy holds her hands up and gives him a, “no thanks.”
This Madrigal/Kite situation is a really REALLY big deal.
Sandy & Amanda claim to care deeply about children & families, they both need to be sure to separate themselves from Schmaling, Madrigal, Pat Hanson, Steve Wicklund, and the other politicians/candidates who are finding some way to be fine with the dirty business happening within RCSO.
Failure to separate themselves from these p3do lov3rs will loudly shout their approval.
Used to be a big Schmaling backer especially during Covid but am having second thoughts. An endorsement from Schmaling might not have value.
Lost a lot of respect for him when he rolled over with the nursing home election fraud. He had a big then there, then… crickets. Schmaling and Pat Hanson… nope. 👎🏻
