Biography
Ramthun was born and raised in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. After high school, Ramthun obtained various certifications in technology and business management, and worked as a business management consultant. Ramthun was elected to the Kewaskum Board of Education and served as President of the board for two years.[1]
His first attempt at election to the Wisconsin State Assembly was in 2014, when he ran in the Republican primary to replace Daniel LeMahieu, but was defeated by Jesse Kremer.[2] Four years later, in 2018, Kremer chose not to run for re-election and Ramthun again entered the Republican primary. This time he prevailed over the Republican field and went on to win the general election without opposition.[3]
