Benjamin Franklin (born October 1982) is an American small business owner and Republican politician from De Pere, Wisconsin. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and represents the 88th Assembly district starting in 2025.

Early life and career

Franklin was born in Keokuk, Iowa, in October 1982. During his youth, he attended Keokuk high school and volunteered for various community organizations such as Relay for Life, Bowl for Kids Sake, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Boy Scouts of America, and attended his local church.[1] After graduating high school, Franklin enlisted in the United States Air Force, and it was during his service that he met and married his wife Sharon.[1]

While serving in the Air Force, Franklin also continued his education through Trident University International, and earned his bachelor's degree.[1]

Political career

Under the new state legislative maps, the 88th Assembly district was slightly modified, removing some rural areas of Brown county and adding in De Pere and Allouez. The new map also drew John Macco into an incumbent-incumbent matchup against fellow Republican legislator Shae Sortwell. Franklin announced he would run for State Assembly under the new maps.[2] He faced one opponent in the Republican Primary, 2020 Prohibition nominee for president, Phil Collins, also from De Pere. During the campaign, Franklin's campaign sent out fliers claiming his opponent opposed the sale of beer and opposed former president, and 2024 presidential candidate, Donald Trump.[3] Under the new maps, the 88th was projected to be one of the most competitive in the state, and drew in significant amounts of funding and attention.[4] During the general election campaign, Franklin signed a pledge to support Congressional Term Limits.[5] He ultimately prevailed over his Democratic opponent, Christy Welch, chair of the Democratic Party of Brown County by 0.6%.[6] He took office in January 2025.

Awards and decorations

Franklin was awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal for his service in the Air Force.[1]

Personal life

Franklin lives in De Pere, Wisconsin, with his wife and two children.[1]
