Madison, WI – Last week, it was announced that Representative Ty Bodden (R-Hilbert) and Representative Rick Gundrum (R-Slinger) were appointed to serve on the Assembly Speaker’s Task Force on Human Trafficking. They have released the following statements:

Representative Bodden:

“Human trafficking is a serious issue for counties within the district as well as the entire state of Wisconsin. It is imperative that the legislature fulfills its role by taking every possible measure to safeguard the well-being of women and children, preventing them from becoming victims of traffickers. I am eager to serve my role on this task force and contribute towards this important issue.”

Representative Gundrum:

“As state legislators, one of our primary responsibilities is the safety of our constituents. The exploitation of people through human trafficking endangers our communities and diminishes the rule of law. I look forward to finding solutions on this task force that will prevent more human trafficking from happening, support survivors, and target those who engage in trafficking.”
