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]
She also filed as a write-in candidate for the Douglas County Board of Supervisors for the Spring election and won.
