Assembly District 34 - Rhinelander; Vilas and Oneida County

Solid Republican District +20

Incumbent Republican Rob Swearingen - Author of The Three Tier Hemp Bill AB 606 in 2025-26.

I wrote many articles about this guy and up until the 2025 session, he killed every cannabis bill in his committee. In 2025, he allowed a public hearing on his bill and the bill to ban hemp cannabis, but refused to allowed AB 747 (The Testin/Kurtz HDC bill) to even hold a public hearing.

Read past articles about this guy: https://www.jayselthofner.com/?s=Swearingen

As committee chair, Swearingen refused to hold a public hearing on the combined legalization, medical and hemp bill, SB 1045/AB1061.

Here are the links to Swearingen Campaign Website and his contact page, he does not seem to have a campaign facebook or campaign email: Contact
