Abstract:

Papers of Steven C. Brist, a three-term Democratic assemblyman for the 67th assembly district from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, documenting his political career. Files consist of legislation records organized by bill number, constituent correspondence referenced by last name and topic, news clippings, and newspaper columns authored by Brist. The bulk of the collection consists of papers from Brist's second and third terms in office (1982-1985) with only a limited amount of material from his first term (1976-1977). Brist was instrumental in creating legislation relating to securities, property and real estate, employee disclosure of improper activities in governmental units (whistleblower protection), and the designation of milk as the official state beverage. Other topics covered in the collection include marital property reform, changing the legal drinking age, mandatory seat belt usage, voter registration, abortion and wrongful birth, and groundwater pollution and waste management.
