About Fred Clark

About Fred

It's Time for a Representative Who Works for All of Us.

As a forester and land manager I’ve spent years working outdoors in all seasons throughout Wisconsin.

As a long time business owner and employer, organizational executive, and volunteer leader, I’ve led teams and helped people solve problems and perform at their best.

As a rural legislator, I’ve worked hard to tackle challenges at home and support people from all walks of life, and politics.

Whether it’s our public lands, good schools, clean air and water, or assuring health care for Wisconsin citizens, what happens in Washington affects all of us here in Northern Wisconsin.

If we want a government that works for us, we need to elect representatives who listen. I am ready to go to work for YOU as your next Representative in Congress.

Why I'm running for Congress.

" It’s the small towns, small businesses, the working farms, and the forests, lakes and rivers that make life here in Northern Wisconsin special. And f or communities like ours to work, everybody has to work together. And when I go to work for YOU in Congress, I’ll bring those same community values."
