David Clarenbach is now well into his career as a legislator even though he is still a young man. First elected to the State Assembly in 1974, he is now serving his fifth term and is Speaker pro tempore of the Assembly. Since his first term David has shown a special concern for civil liber- ties. When very few others were interested, a bill prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation was enacted under his legislative tutelage. He then successfully sponsored legisla- tion which decriminalized private consensual sexual activity. Because of David's leadership Wisconsin is the first state to pass civil rights legislation aimed at protecting the rights of individuals based on sexual orientation as well as establishing privacy rights for all of us. ---
