"I'm not running to start a political career. I'm running to solve problems." A three-term Village President, an electrician by trade, and a small business owner. Steve Wicklund is running for Wisconsin State Assembly to represent the district that shaped him.
Event invites, volunteer opportunities, and how to vote in your community. We will never share your information.
From the panel-board to the village board, Steve has spent two decades building businesses, families, and a community that takes care of its own.
Steve Wicklund is a three-term Village President of Union Grove. He runs BSW Electric, an 11-employee shop serving commercial, residential, healthcare, and public-works clients across southeastern Wisconsin. Before he was elected to lead the village, he served on the Community Development Committee and helped guide land-use, planning, and municipal decisions that shape life in his hometown.
He and Cindy have been married for 20 years. They are raising three sons (Zak, Cole, and Brody) and have lived in Union Grove for 14 years.
Steve is running because the district needs a representative who understands what it takes to make payroll, finish a project on time, and keep a community on solid footing. Common sense, local values, and getting the work done.
Local Values. Practical Leadership. The issues that show up at kitchen tables and on Main Street, not just at the Capitol.
Wisconsin homeowners are getting priced out, and the bill keeps landing back on local ballots. East Troy asked for $4 million a year in April 2026 and voters said no, 61 percent to 39. Burlington passed $13.8 million over three years in 2025 after two failed attempts. Steve will push the state to carry more of the school funding load instead of shifting it onto your property tax bill.
The state writes the rules and sends the cost to local government. PFAS testing, stormwater compliance, juvenile placement. The daily rate counties pay to house one juvenile offender has climbed from $284 in 2015 to more than $1,200, roughly $460,000 a year for a single placement. Those costs land on your property tax bill. Steve will fix it at the source.
Parents deserve real options and real answers. Steve will protect the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program, push for full curriculum transparency, and require that 70 percent of school operating dollars reach the classroom rather than administration.
Backing the men and women who keep our communities safe. Full funding for law enforcement and first responders, defending truth in sentencing, and holding the line against bail policies that put violent offenders back on the street before trial.
Racine County is becoming a data center hub. That has to mean jobs here, not higher electric bills for everyone else. In April 2026 the Public Service Commission rewrote We Energies’ rules for its largest power users, requiring contracts of at least 15 years and full payment for the generation built to serve them. Steve will defend that protection and back the training pipeline that turns these projects into local careers, like Gateway Technical College’s Microsoft Data Center certificate.
Cut the red tape strangling Wisconsin farms, protect farmland from unchecked development, and expand market access. Skilled work has been undervalued for a generation, so Steve will invest in the apprenticeships, technical colleges, and trades incentives that build the workforce our economy actually needs.
