According to the organizers, the primary focus of the event will be for candidates to discuss their platforms and proposals specifically related to agricultural and rural issues. This aims to allow the farming community and rural residents to understand each candidate’s stance on matters critical to their livelihoods and communities.
The specific date and time for the town hall have not been provided. Further details regarding the event’s schedule and participating candidates are expected to be announced by the Wood-Portage-Waupaca Chapter of the Wisconsin Farmers Union.

This event is being organized by a local chapter of the Wisconsin Farmers Union, an organization that advocates for the interests of farmers and rural communities across the state. Such town halls are common during election cycles, offering a platform for dialogue between constituents and those seeking public office on issues of local and state importance.
The agenda is expected to cover a range of topics pertinent to the agricultural sector and the broader concerns of rural populations. Attendees will have the chance to learn about the candidates’ perspectives on farm policy, economic development in rural areas, environmental stewardship, and other relevant subjects.
