JOHN, it's Mike Van Someren.
I grew up in the small town of Somerset, Wisconsin, and from the age of five, I planned to be a truck driver just like my dad. I was so sure of my future that I didn't even think about going to college until a teacher encouraged me to sign up for football, which landed me at UW-Madison—where I became the first in my family to graduate college.
Running for office never crossed my mind, but working and raising my two daughters alongside my wife, Renee, I see that the issues that I and so many other Wisconsinites have dealt with for years aren't going to just go away from one day to the next.
Wisconsinites are working too damn hard just to be left behind by out-of-touch politicians. We need leaders who are willing to step up and change things, and this year I couldn't stand on the sidelines.
I'm ready to fight in the State Senate to solve this affordability crisis, improve our public education, and give Wisconsinites a fair shot at building a life they can be proud of right here at home.
I need your help building this campaign, JOHN. My April End of Month Fundraising Deadline is tonight, and I'm still $2,429 short of my goal. Will you chip in today to help me reach my goal and flip this district so we can get real representation in the State Senate?

Let's get it done,

From the age of five, I planned to be a truck driver like my dad. I had no interest in college until a teacher spotted me in the halls—already a foot taller than my classmates—and got me into football and basketball.
In my small hometown of Somerset, Wisconsin, I became a three-sport athlete, National Honor Society member, and All-State football player. That led to playing for the UW–Madison Badgers, where I played offensive tackle. I became the first in my family to graduate college, earning a History degree.
Inspired by new goals, I went on to Marquette Law School, where I worked relentlessly—serving on Law Review and graduating cum laude. That same week, I married my wife Renee. I began my legal career assisting business owners and nonprofits, and eventually became a shareholder at Amundsen Davis (formerly Davis|Kuelthau) and have won numerous industry awards.
In 2022, driven by a deep belief that government should work for everyday people—not just the well-connected—I ran for Congress. I entered the race to bring common-sense leadership and a voice of reason to a system that too often rewards division over progress. Though we didn’t win, we built a grassroots campaign focused on economic opportunity, protecting democracy, and restoring trust in public service—and I remain proud of the conversations we sparked and the community we built.
