Brent Jacobson

Brent William Jacobson (born April 26, 1984) is an American lawyer and Republican politician from Mosinee, Wisconsin.

[3][4] Jacobson made his first bid for public office in 2015, challenging 10-year incumbent Mosinee mayor Alan Erickson.

[7] Jacobson said he was running to protest the wasteful spending policies of his own party, and highlighted what he saw as deficiencies in the state's Foxconn in Wisconsin project.

[9] The following year, after Wisconsin U.S. representative Sean Duffy announced his early resignation from office, Jacobson openly considered a run to succeed him in Congress, but ultimately did not enter the race.

[12] Two other Republicans entered the race, and Jacobson ultimately lost the primary to businessman Cory Tomczyk.

[14] Once again he faced a contested primary in the overwhelmingly Republican district, but this time he prevailed by a wide margin against Wausau School Board member Cory Sillars.
