ABOUT JESSI EBBEN
Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District is in need of true representation. Our voices must be heard, valued, and dutifully carried to Congress by an advocate for the people of western and central Wisconsin. Being continually disappointed by lack of true federal representation motivated me to run for Congress. The people of Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District are tired of being forgotten about. We are tired of current Democratic Congressman, Ron Kind, who votes for his party, not his constituents. It is time for a change.
Having spent 26 of my 30 years in Wisconsin, I know and share the values and priorities of the people. I grew up in central Wisconsin, and my husband and I now live in Eau Claire. With family members all throughout the region, my roots in the 3rd District are strong. I’m passionate about serving the people here, not political party leaders in Washington, D.C.
Political Involvement
Almost a decade ago I was attending the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire during the passage of Act 10 and Governor Walker’s recall. During this process, I supported my parents, life-long educators who were told they would lose their job due to the legislation. However, this politically heightened time in our state challenged me to question my political beliefs and analyze the controversial bill. Being raised on the values of faith, family, freedom, fiscal responsibility, and hard work, I realized my views were conservative. Just like Presidents Trump and Reagan, I chose to be a Republican.
Public Service and Community Outreach
After graduating college, I worked for nearly five years conducting public relations for two municipalities outside of Minneapolis. In this role, I served as a conduit between the public and the government. In 2017, my husband and I returned to Wisconsin and live in Eau Claire, where I work in public relations for a healthcare organization. Recently, this work has revolved around helping rural clinics respond to the COVID-19 crisis.
I have firsthand experience making local governments accessible and accountable to their constituents. With attentive listening and clear communication, I have successfully translated the public’s concerns to public servants and appropriate stakeholders. I intend to bring this emphasis on listening and problem-solving to the role of representative in day-to-day operations and in times of crisis.
Time to Act
Being disappointed time and again with the federal government I was inspired to take the next step in returning to public service. The lack of due process in the Justice Kavanaugh confirmation hearings was the last straw.
Last year, we watched more sham processes delay the passage of the USMCA and then, of course, came the despicable impeachment process.
One action, or inaction, after another and lack of representation for the American people motivated me to change the status quo in Washington, D.C.
I’ve had enough watching elected officials waste Americans’ time and tax dollars with sham processes for their own political gain. As your representative, I will fight to make sure the voices of Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District are heard and once again represented, unlike Ron Kind who only represents special interest groups.
We need representatives who will fight for the better country we all envision. We need representatives who will see and feel the consequences of their decisions. In the 3rd Congressional District, we need a representative who has roots in western and central Wisconsin, someone who takes the time to get to know the constituents and what matters most to you.
