Wauwatosa's Robyn Vining Declares 14th Assembly Seat Candidacy

WAUWATOSA, WI — Small business owner Robyn Vining has announced that she is running in the
Democratic primary In Wisconsin's 14th State Assembly district, which includes parts of Wauwatosa,
Brookfield and Milwaukee. Current Rep. Dale Kooyenga is stepping down from the seat. The fall 2018 primary for this seat is Tuesday, August 14.

“I believe this seat is winnable at a pivotal point for our state and our nation, and I think I’m the
best candidate for the job,” Vining said. “With my experience, passion and integrity, I will help
heal divides and bring people together to find creative, bipartisan solutions that deliver real
change to Wisconsin, and restore the voice of the people to Madison.”

Vining is a former pastor turned entrepreneur who has spent the past nine years building asuccessful photography business. She recently launched Folio MKE, a collaborative workspace/community for women entrepreneurs. She is a founding board member of Exploit No More, which works to end child sex trafficking, and a founding member of Help Portrait Milwaukee and The Milwaukee Portrait Project, initiatives that serve some of the city’s most vulnerable residents.

“I’m determined to fight For The People on three fronts: people, planet and profit. We can address all of these areas when we keep our schools and universities safe and adequately funded, push for common-sense gun reform, protect women and children from human trafficking, eliminate taxpayer waste, put Wisconsin families — including their ability to use our precious natural resources — ahead of special interest groups, advocate for economic fairness, and rebuild our neglected infrastructure, including the yet-to-be-finished Zoo Interchange,” Vining said in a prepared statement.

Vining has bachelor’s degrees in psychology and fine/studio arts from James Madison University and a master’s degree in religion from Trinity International University. She lives in Wauwatosa with her husband of 17 years, their two children, and their rescue boxer.
