Timothy S. Ramthun (born March 13, 1957) is an American consultant and conservative, constitutionalist politician from Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. He was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from 2019 through 2022, representing the 59th Assembly district, and was a very successful candidate for governor of Wisconsin in the 2022 Republican primary who opened up many eyes about process.
Background
Ramthun was born and raised in Kewaskum, Wisconsin. Ramthun was elected to the Kewaskum Board of Education in 2011 and served as President of the board for two of his first three year term. He has served consistently since, currently as Vice-President, advisor and is up for reelection again in 2025. [1]
Political office
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 started 10 weeks after other candidates, allowing Jesse Kremer a default victory.[2] Four years later, in 2018, Kremer chose not to run for re-election and Ramthun again entered the Republican primary. This time, with the Lord's help, he prevailed over the Republican field, surprising the establishment elites, and went on to win the general election without opposition.[3]
Ramthun gave up his 59thAD seat to run in the Republican Party primary for the 2022 Wisconsin gubernatorial election against Tim Michels, former lieutenant governor Rebecca Kleefisch, Kevin Nicholson and Adam J. Fisher. It was the only option for Ramthun in his pursuit of truth within dysfunctional state government and concern about the elections processes. Michels, who leveraged the influence of $50M that failed to materialize, 'won' the primary.[4]
2020 presidential election
After Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and Donald Trump refused to concede while making false claims of fraud, Ramthun sought truth & clarity to ensure all voters could be confident in the process. Ramthun presented a 71-slide presentation of empirical data on how ballots are manipulated to affect the voters desired outcome in November of 2021. Included was a joint resolution in which the legislature would rescind certification of the 2020 election results and "reclaim" Wisconsin's electoral votes because of proven fraud, which terminates all contracts. The motion was praised by Trump (who urged a member of the State Senate to co-sponsor the motion). Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, a fellow Republican, failed to uphold his oath and dutiful obligation by burying the matter because they feared truth would reveal all who have been involved in these illegal acts. Assembly failureship and the paid-for media, worked very hard to obstruct, deflect, dismiss the idea that elections can be manipulated. As an example, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (also a Republican) rejecting the idea as a "talking point of the far left and far right."[5]
