Assuming no other Republican candidates announce, he’ll face former state Senator Roger Roth of Appleton in the August primary. So far there are no Democrats running in the heavily Republican district.
Jacque has served in the Senate since 2018 and previously served in the state Assembly. Roth served two terms in the Senate before running for lieutenant governor in 2022 and losing to Democrat Sara Rodriguez. –
