We need more people like Tammy Baldwin, who has been a courageous fighter for our civil rights. We need representation in congress that will stand up to our historically unpopular president, not show the spinelessness of Sean Duffy and Paul Ryan. It isn’t just our governor and state legislature that we need to fix. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of environmental issues: As I’ve travelled rural areas of the state, even very conservative hunters and fishing enthusiasts are concerned about Walker’s poor administration of the DNR, and what sort of hunting and fishing legacy will be left for their kids. Wisconsin has become far too similar to Flint, Michigan. But since moving here, I’ve learned more about water filters than I’d ever wanted to know, thanks the GOP lawmakers screwing up basic water quality shortly after gaining power in 2010. I’ve lived all across this country and it was never an issue. Things like being able to drink water straight from the tap. We need to get back on a path toward fiscal sanity. For example, by putting a little extra money into education, we know that our state could save massively on other costs over the long-term, from social services to incarceration. As someone that has run businesses, I know that sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Instead, under GOP control, it has blown money on poorly designed road construction and handed out our tax dollars to Walker’s rich friends through WEDC. Our government should be wise and prudent with our tax dollars. I personally wouldn’t trust him with my checkbook, and yet I have to pay my taxes to him. He’s just kicking the can down the road, burdening future generations. Our Governor calls himself fiscally conservative and yet he can’t even pay the interest on our state’s loans. The people of Wisconsin deserve a champion that will stand up to these cronies. That’s why I am entering the contest for chairperson of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. It’s an issue of our governor and legislature being terrible with money and failing to understand the Constitution. This isn’t even a left-versus-right issue. While GOP officials claim to be conservative, they have absolutely betrayed the voters of our state. But there’s one thing I can’t stand about Wisconsin: our awful republican government. My wife and I hope to start a family here. Since moving to Wisconsin a few years ago, I’ve fallen in love with this great state.
