Biography
Angie Sapik was born Angela Mary Vee in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and was raised in Superior, Wisconsin. She graduated from Northwestern High School, in the town of Maple, Wisconsin, and went on to attend University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire for two years. She ultimately earned her associate's degree from Duluth Business University. For the last ten years, she has worked as a sales associate for her family business, Vee's Marketing, Inc.[1]
Political career
After surviving the closest election in the Wisconsin Legislature in 2020, incumbent state representative Nick Milroy announced in April 2022 that he would not run for an 8th term in the Assembly that Fall. A few weeks later, Sapik announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 73rd district seat being vacated by Milroy.[2] She defeated Douglas County supervisor Scott Luostari in the Republican primary and went on to face child services consultant Laura Gapske in the general election.[3] In the November general election, the 73rd Assembly district was again one of the closest legislative races in the state. Sapik prevailed by 490 votes.[4]
The 2024 legislative redistricting act significantly altered Sapik's 73rd Assembly district, and Sapik announced in March 2024 that she would not run for another term in office.[5]
Following the redistricting Sapik filed a write-in campaign for the 20th district on the Douglas County Board of Supervisors. No other candidates filed to run for the seat and Sapik was elected with 76 votes out of 152 write-in votes.[6]
Personal life and family
Angela Vee is one of three children of Scott Vee.[7] Her father founded the produce company Vee's Marketing, Inc., in 1989. Her father is now retired and her brother owns and runs the business.[1]
Angela Vee took the last name Sapik when she married Nathan Sapik, in September 2012.[7] They live in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin, with their two children.
