Biographical sketch of Joel Kleefisch, p. 45〕 His wife, Rebecca Kleefisch, is also in state politics as the current Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. ==Biography== Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Kleefisch graduated from Waukesha North High School in 1989. He attended Pepperdine University and received a B.A. from Pepperdine in 1993. Kleefisch worked as a news researcher for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles during the summer of 1992. Upon graduation from Pepperdine he worked as a reporter for WREX-TV in Rockford, Illinois from 1993 to 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Assembly Member Joel Kleefisch - Biography - Project Vote Smart )〕 Kleefisch then was hired by WISN-TV as an assignment desk person and part-time reporter in 1994 before becoming a full-time general assignment reporter, where he worked until entering politics. As a reporter at WISN-TV, he appeared on CNN to discuss the trial of Mark Chmura. He won an award for "Best investigative report or series" from the Milwaukee Press Club in 1999 for a piece about date rape drugs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contest & Honors presented by The Milwaukee Press Club )〕 Rebecca was also a reporter and anchor for WISN and the two would marry in 1999 shortly after she moved to that station from Rockford, Illinois.〔()〕 The couple now have two children. Kleefisch was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2004, and was re-elected in 2006, 2008 and 2010.〔 He represents Oconomowoc and surrounding areas. In 2009 he co-sponsored legislation to increase the penalties in Wisconsin for driving under the influence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wisconsin Legislature: Kleefisch, Rep. Joel M.(38th A.Dist.; Rep.) )〕 On February 21, 2012, video was posted showing Kleefisch voting for absent members of the Assembly. Although representatives claim that this practice is commonplace, and indeed legal as long as unseated members are actually inside the chamber itself, claims by the person who captured the video that absent members had been absent for hours before the vote have spurred allegations of voter fraud.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joel Kleefisch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
