Milwaukee, Wisconsin - JoAnna Bautch, 31, a Democratic candidate running in the Wisconsin State 8th Assembly District race apparently was convicted in 2009 after pleading guilty to Pyramax Bank theft (theft-business setting) a misdemeanor charge of less than $2,500 and was ordered to pay $4,500 as a condition for probation, according to state court records. Bautch pleaded guilty and agreed to make restitution. She was an employee of the bank.
Bautch was sentenced to 9-months in jail in 2009, but the sentenced was stay and she was ordered to serve probation for 12-months.
Bautch applied twice with the Waukesha County Circuit Court in 2017 and 2018 to get her criminal record expunge, but was denied twice by a judge due to the fact that while on probation in 2009, she was arrested and convicted for DWI in the same year, which violated the conditions of the sentence, eventhough her probation wasn't revoked at the time, but it actually made her ineligible for expunging her record in the future, according to Waukesha County court records.

Candidate Bautch is State Representative JoCasta Zamarripa's sister. Zamarripa decided not to seek reelection for the State 8th Assembly District seat.
Bautch in her campaign website doesn't address the bank theft in 2009, but she did post that she "is also an out and proud member of the LGBTQ community."
Bautch's (JoAnna for Wisconsin campaign) in early June challenged the nomination signature papers of Candidate Enrique Murguia another Democrat and the Bautch campaign was successful in getting Murguia kicked off the August 11, 2020 Partisan Primary Election Ballot. Murguia was 3 elector nomination signatures short of the required 200 valid nomination signatures needed to get on the ballot.
So far, Bautch on June 10th received the endorsement of her sister, outgoing State Representative Zamarripa (D-Milw.) and on June 5th, Citizen Action of Wisconsin endorsed Bautch, according to the JoAnna for Wisconsin Facebook page. The LGBTQ Victory Fund also endorsed Bautch.
