Drawn out of District 85: Pat Snyder Moves to Keep it

WAUSAU, Wis. (WXCO) – Excluded by a couple of blocks, relocating ranks top priority as Snyder has served the area for 8 years now.

Wisconsin’s 85th Assembly District Representative runs to retain his seat despite new maps putting him in the redrawn 87th District.

Snyder’s home sits in the 87th by about a block and a half. That newly drawn 87th District now covers areas from Schofield to Rothschild and Kronenwetter. While the 85th primarily covers the City and Town of Wausau and the Village and Town of Weston.

Snyder is one of about a dozen incumbents in the Assembly that were displaced.

If he wins the 85th Assembly District seat, he would be required to establish a new residence within the district only ten days after he takes the oath of office. According to Snyder he plans to establish a residency in either Wausau or Weston.

The General Election is on November 5th.
