Campaign websiteEbben's campaign website stated the following:ON THE ISSUES STANDING WITH PRESIDENT TRUMPJessi is proud to have knocked thousands of doors for President Donald J. Trump and other conservative candidates. Like President Trump, she believes the American Dream is slipping out of reach because of previously enacted bad policy by weak leaders. In Congress, Jessi will be a fighter for the America First agenda—protecting our borders, supporting law enforcement, and putting Wisconsin families ahead of special interests. BORDER SECURITYA nation without secure borders cannot remain free or safe. Jessi will support finishing the wall, stopping the flow of illegal drugs like fentanyl into our communities, and giving law enforcement the tools they need to secure the border. She believes in putting American families first and protecting our sovereignty.SECOND AMENDMENT AND HUNTING Jessi is a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. She is also a member of Gun Owners of America and Hunter Nation. Jessi will ensure Wisconsin’s 7th District remains home to a vibrant hunting community. She will always protect the 2nd Amendment and the rights of gun owners across our state. PRO-LIFEJessi’s campaign is rooted in her Christian faith and Heartland values. As a 7th-generation Wisconsinite, Jess understands the rural way of life that’s so important to WI-07 families. She is fiercely pro-life and as a mother wants to ensure her kids and theirs can live the American Dream. EXPANDING AMERICAN MANUFACTURING Working in the private sector for a Wisconsin-based manufacturer, Jessi sees how Washington’s burdensome regulations hold back American innovation and job creation. She’ll fight to cut red tape, bring supply chains back home, and grow high-quality, family-sustaining jobs right here in Wisconsin.UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY Unleash American energy so that American businesses and individuals can thrive. Energy affects everything we do - from turning on the lights in our homes, to the heat we use and even to the price of our grocery bill. The price of energy has ripple effects from our homes, our budgets and our country's prosperity. Reliable, affordable energy is vital to ensuring manufacturing and other companies can stay here in our district, state and nation.PUTTING WISCONSIN FAMILIES FIRSTAs an 7th-generation Wisconsinite, Jessi Ebben understands the challenges and opportunities facing families across our state. In Congress, she’ll fight to make sure our children can grow up in safe communities with access to good schools, strong communities, and the same chance at the American Dream that was enjoyed by past generations.STRENGHTENING RURAL COMMUNITIES Jessi has firsthand experience helping small towns thrive. From opening rural health clinics in Barron, Chippewa, and Rusk Counties to advocating for resources in underserved communities, she knows the importance of keeping small towns vibrant. She’ll work to expand access to opportunity, improve infrastructure, and ensure that rural Wisconsin is never left behind.AGRICULTURE, TIMBER, AND FAMILY FARMSAgriculture is the backbone of Wisconsin’s 7th District, from the dairy barns of central Wisconsin to the small farms, timber operations, and paper mills of the Northwoods. Jessi’s family roots run deep in farm country, and she understands the challenges farmers and producers face with rising costs, overregulation, and unfair trade practices. In Congress, she will stand with Wisconsin’s dairy, crop, livestock, timber, and paper producers—cutting red tape, fighting for fair markets, and protecting family farms and industries so they can be passed on to the next generation. TOURISM AND THE NORTHWOODSWisconsin’s 7th District is home to the Northwoods, one of the most beautiful destinations in the country. Tourism here supports thousands of local jobs and small businesses, from resorts and restaurants to hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Jessi will work to strengthen infrastructure, preserve natural resources, and promote the Northwoods as a top destination—keeping tourism strong as a cornerstone of the district’s economy.LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CRIMEJessi stands firmly with law enforcement. She knows that safe communities are the foundation for strong families and local economies. In Congress, she will back the blue, oppose efforts to defund police, and support tougher penalties for violent crime and drug trafficking that threaten Wisconsin families.CRYPTO AND DIGITAL ASSETS Jessi understands it's imperative to foster an environment that promotes American innovation in the digital assets arena. She believes America should be the home to the next generation of technological advancements.— Jessi Ebben's campaign website (June 2, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born in Stevens Point and grew up in the small village of Westfield, in central Wisconsin. My parents are from the Platteville area in the southwest part of the district, where much of my family still resides. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a bachelor's degree in public relations. While attending the university I met my husband, Cody, who is from Altoona. He has family throughout the district in Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, Pepin, Prescott and Boscobel.

After graduating college, I worked for nearly five years in the Twin Cities in public relations for two municipalities outside of Minneapolis. In my role, I was a conduit between the public and the government. I saw how limited, local government could be accessible and accountable and properly work for and serve the constituents. I enjoyed the role of public service and knew I would return to it someday.

My husband and I moved back home to Wisconsin a few years ago and now live in Eau Claire, where I work in public relations and am involved in different committees and boards in the Chippewa Valley.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Protecting Our Constitutional RightsAgricultureInfrastructure

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The policy areas that I am particularly passionate about are the problems that are right out our front door - the issues that we can see, feel and improve at a local level. There are many policies we can improve that will help communities thrive, such as prioritizing funding for infrastructure - so roads, bridges and broadband internet can help our communities not just survive, but thrive.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

An elected official needs to communicate well, be honest and transparent, and work diligently for the priorities of their constituents. A strong elected official is not motivated by power, but by the people. A representative should serve and be a liaison for the constituents to the federal government.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

One of the greatest challenges we face as a nation in the next decade is the national debt, which is currently at $23 trillion. We need to have a balanced budget and make smart cuts to prioritized spending on vital government functions. The national debt is something that representatives have not taken seriously and pushed off each and every year, but my generation and many others know that we will soon feel the terrible effects of this prolonged problem.

One of the most important challenges we are dealing with is ending abortion and fighting for the lives of the unborn. It is devastating that this is even an issue we have to debate at any level of government or society. We need to end abortion and we need to re-prioritize family and the value of life in this country. Just as our constitution says, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Without life, there is no seeking of liberty and happiness.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

The House Agriculture Committee is the first committee I would like to get appointed to as agriculture is a large industry in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District, which covers central and western Wisconsin. Not only is the current representative not on this committee, but no representative in Wisconsin is on it. The other committees that would be important to be on when representing the 3rd Congressional District are the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the Committee on Education and Labor and the Committee on Veterans' Affairs as these committees cover topics that are of priority to the district.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

A current representative who I respect and would like to model my work as a representative and legislator after is Rep. Jim Jordan. He works diligently for his district, state and country. He is well-prepared for committee work and therefore, makes a large impact during testimonies and hearings. He is well-versed in policy and procedure and speaks in clear, concise plain language. Overall, what I admire most about Rep. Jordan is that he works hard and fights hard for the people of his district and the American people.

I also have a deep respect for Rep. Elise Stefanik and the work she does to represent and prioritize her constituents and communities in her district. She always keeps her role as representative of her New York congressional district top priority and carries that responsibility throughout her work.
