GOP field for 49th down to three

The GOP field for the 49th Assembly District has shrunk by one.

Kathy Kopp, executive director of the Platteville Area Chamber of Commerce, has decided against a bid.

That leaves three candidates in the race to take on freshman Dem Phil Garthwaite of Fennimore: David Kuhle of Hazel Green, Dennis Lundell of Livingston and Travis Tranel of Cuba City.
