WAUSAU, Wis. (WXCO) – Local businessman and Conservative citizen Cory Sillars announces his run for the State Assembly this coming Fall for the newly created District.

“The hardworking people of Central Wisconsin deserve a true and unwavering Conservative voice in Madison.” Sillars said.

Corey Sillars, 52, is a father of two with a daughter in college and a son in high school. Born and raised in Rib Mountain, he has served his community as a Village Trustee since 2022 and as a member of the Wausau School District Board since September of 2022.

“When Bills come through and it is time to vote, I will follow my principles and do my best to be the voice of the 87th. Parents deserve the right to send their children to schools that provide a solid education. Religious freedoms should not be curtailed with government mandates. Hunting and outdoor activities, a family tradition here in Wisconsin, should be protected, and our 2nd amendment rights need to be left untouched.” Sillars said.

A carpenter since 1993, he has owned and operated the family’s building and remodeling business since 2012.

This Fall he will be taking on Mosinee Mayor, Brent Jacobson who announced his run for the 87th District earlier this year.

The new version of District 87 covers parts of Marathon, Portage, Waupaca and Shawano counties.
