I was proud to stand against Governor Scott Walker when he launched his first attack against Wisconsin workers one year ago. I was there in Madison. Now desperate to hold on to power, the governor and GOP lawmakers are trying to spin their record of failure.

In fact, last week Governor Walker bragged about his "accomplishments" to his big money allies at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC). He touted his policies, like ending 50 years of workers' rights, as helping Wisconsin get on the right track. The Governor's rhetoric however doesn't match up with the facts.
Will you help me send a strong message to Governor Walker that his rightwing vision for Wisconsin is dead wrong?
While Governor Walker touts that he balanced the budget without raising taxes, Wisconsin still has a multi-million dollar budget deficit despite eliminating workers' rights. And, apparently the millions in tax and fee hikes on seniors and working families just don't count in his book.
The real record of Governor Walker and GOP leaders is that of failure. Their rightwing policies have taken Wisconsin in the wrong direction and away from our core values as a state.
Last month, I announced my candidacy for the Wisconsin State Assembly. I’m running for the State Assembly because I think the 26th District would benefit from having a representative whose priorities are day-in and day-out: jobs, the economy, and standing up for working and middle-class families.
I can't do it alone - will you please help me continue to fight Governor Walker's rightwing agenda by contributing $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford to my grassroots campaign.
The fight for the soul of Wisconsin continues and with so much at stake we can't give in now. I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you as we fight to bring commonsense middle class values back to Wisconsin.
Thank you so much for responding today with your support for my campaign.
