Diane Odeen, resident of River Falls and candidate for the 30th Assembly District, holds a campaign kickoff event 2 p.m. Sunday, April 22, at the Weitkamp Park Pavilion, 648 O’Neil Rd. in Hudson.

Pat Kreitlow, candidate for Congress in the 7th District, will join Odeen at the event.

Odeen is a mom, lawyer, and community volunteer.

She’s a native Wisconsinite who works in Hudson. Growing up on a dairy farm helped her learn the value of hard work, fair play, and giving back to the community.

She is running as a Democrat for the 30th state Assembly district, which includes Hudson, North Hudson, Roberts and River Falls.

The 30th Assembly seat is now held by Dean Knudson, a Republican from Hudson.

Kreitlow is a former news anchor at WEAU-TV in Eau Claire, and a former State Senator. He is running for Congress in Wisconsin’s new 7th Congressional District, which now includes St. Croix County and all points north.

Guests are encouraged to bring their walking shoes, kids and pets. There will be snacks and a chance to meet the candidates, followed by a group photo.

Everyone is invited to join the candidates as they walk through a nearby neighborhood to gather nomination signatures to get on the ballot for the November election.

Access O’Neil Rd and the park off of Hanley Road. For more information about Odeen or her campaign, visit the campaign web site www.dianeodeen.org or call 715-952-5847.
