CLINTON — Rep. Amy Loudenbeck will be seeking a second term in the state Assembly, but the seat she seeks will be in a different district.
Loudenbeck, R-Clinton, now represents the 45th District, which includes Beloit; three wards in Janesville; La Prairie, Harmony, Clinton, Turtle, Johnston and Bradford townships in Rock County; and Richmond Township in Walworth County.
In the next election, she’ll be competing in the 31st District, which will include the same Rock County townships and Richmond Township, but only a small part of Beloit and one ward in Janesville.
The new 31st District also includes the city of Elkhorn; the townships of Darien, Sharon, Sugar Creek and Walworth; and the villages of Darien, Fontana, Sharon, Walworth and Williams Bay.
Loudenbeck said she’s already familiar with parts of the 31st District.
“I lived in Lake Geneva before moving to Clinton, and my husband grew up in Walworth County,” Loudenbeck said. “My in-laws still live there.”
If she wins a second term, Loudenbeck said she “definitely” wanted to continue to serve on the tourism and jobs committee.
She feels she’s been a productive member of the public health and safety committee.
In the next session, Loudenbeck said, she’d like to learn more about shared revenue and the way the school funding formula works.
“Economic development is my main priority,” Loudenbeck said.
She’s also interested in highlighting and supporting the contributions of agriculture in her new district.
“Rock and Walworth counties contain some of the most productive farmland in the world. Recognizing and respecting the contributions of agriculture to the regional economy remain a top priority,” Loudenbeck told the Walworth County Week.
Before being elected to office, Loudenbeck worked at the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce for more than seven years in several capacities, including interim president. She is a former town of Clinton supervisor and president of Stateline World Trade Association.

"In the next session, Loudenbeck said, she’d like to learn more about shared revenue.." She's learning on our dime. We need leaders in the legislature not novices and followers. She trampled on the majority in Rock County when she stood with Walker. It's time to vote these government freeloaders do-nothings out of our legislature.

You mean the redistricting where all that was needed was to redraw some lines between 2 democrat districts in Milwaukee before those same 3 fed judges were satisfied?

Belman was obviously taught by a Union spelling teacher and dawn needs to have her Walker-derangement syndrome treated by a Union shrink. Amy has always seemed reasonable concerned unlike the Democratic Union hacks.

Too bad I'm still in her district. She didn't answer my email asking why she signed a secrecy agreement on redistricting. You know, the redistricting debacle in which the Republicans spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money, the one in which they were repeatedly scolded by a trio of federal judges on how they went out of their way to hide the process for the public? Of course she's going to win a second term-- they just made her district more Republican. No wonder she didn't have a problem with it. Not even two years in office and she's already a partisan hack.
