Lee Projected Winner for Republican WI Assembly 14 Nomination

MILWAUKEE COUNTY — Three challengers faced off in Tuesday's primary for the Republican nomination for Wisconsin State Assembly District 14. The district includes portions of the cities of Brookfield, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa.

Candidate Bonnie Lee is the projected winner with 2,815 votes, followed by Linda Boucher at 509 votes and Steven Shevey with 202 vote and 100 percent reporting (35 of 35 precincts).

Incumbent Robyn Vining, a Democrat, defeated three candidates in 2018 to take the seat. Linda Boucher, Bonnie Lee, and Steven Shevey ran against each other in the Republican primary.

Bonnie Lee, a Wauwatosa resident, serves as Director of Outreach at Northwest Baptist Church. She has forged partnerships between the church and other community organizations to develop the local community. Two of those efforts focus on education, literacy tutoring for students and financial literacy for parents. Lee has also invested considerable time volunteering in Wauwatosa Public Schools, as well as Milwaukee Public and charter schools.

Lee is the co-founder and president of Learn For Life Kenya, a nonprofit organization focused on preparing Kenyan youth for employment through vocational skills training. Her grant-making organization, which has raised over $300,000 to date, partners with local government and community organizations.
