Meet Rob Stafsholt

“I love our area. My family has called Western Wisconsin home for 4 generations. Now I want to continue to give back by serving the people of this district in the State Senate. I will put my experience as a father, small businessman, and farmer to work by building a strong economy that allows our private sector to succeed and create good-paying jobs; enhancing economic development; reducing the size of state government; supporting educational opportunities for our children, and holding the line on taxes!”

Rob is a proud, lifelong resident of St. Croix County. He has helped manage his family’s farm for over 30 years as a 4th generation farmer. He has an adult daughter, Maggie, who works on the family farm and in the family business.
