The Wisconsin Historical Society notes an anniversary of political progress, marking a date in 1963, in nearby Rock County — Rock County’s First Female Assembly Member
On this date Carolyn Blanchard of Edgerton won an election to fill the state Assembly seat left open by the death of her husband, David. In doing so, she became the first woman from Rock County to serve in the Wisconsin Assembly. Blanchard’s election increased the number of women serving in the Assembly to two.
