I’m running for Wisconsin State Assembly because I believe the Northwoods deserves a strong voice in Madison. After more than 30 years of living, working, and serving our communities, I know what matters here. I’ll put people before party politics and focus on what affects our everyday lives: • Making life more affordable • Supporting strong public schools and good-paying jobs • Protecting our lakes, forests, and natural resources • Finding common-sense solutions that move Wisconsin forward •

The choices made by our WI Assembly Representative affect wages, workers’ rights, and access to affordable health care right here at home in the Northwoods. Here’s the record we’ve seen from our current Rep who has been in office for 14 years—and the priorities Merlin will bring to the 34th District (Oneida & Vilas Counties) when he is elected. It’s time for change in the Northwoods! Authorized and paid for by Merlin for the 34th

For fourteen years Swearingen has put his party over what is best for the Northwoods. He sided with his party when it came to protecting our lakes. He sided with his party when it came to voting on Voucher Schools. He sided with his party when it came to school funding. He sided with his party when it came to Right to Work legislation. He sided with his party when it came to defunding Knowles Nelson. I will always put you first, and what is best for the Northwoods. Authorized and paid for

I’m running for Wisconsin State Assembly because the Northwoods deserves a strong voice in Madison. 1. I’m not a career politician. After more than 30 years living, working, and serving our communities, I know what matters here—and I’ll put people before party politics. 2. I’ll fight for affordability. Affordable health care. Affordable child care. Affordable housing. And property taxes people can afford. 3. I’ll stand up for working families. That means quality public schools, good-paying jo

Your State Rep has a say in how Wisconsin spends your tax dollars, what laws are passed, and which issues get attention—including those affecting our schools, roads, health care, and Northwoods communities. On November 3, your vote can help choose who represents you. If you believe Merlin VanBuren would be a strong voice for our community, please share this post. Every vote—and every share—matters. Authorized and paid for by Merlin for the 34th

I'll show up. I'll listen. Fourteen years ago, we were talking about school funding and rising property taxes. Today, local families are still carrying the load while Madison keeps passing the buck. The Northwoods deserves a representative who listens to neighbors, understands what people are

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
