As we saw in Alabama last night: EVERY ELECTION MATTERS!
Meet Greta Neubauer, an amazing young progressive who is running for the 66th Assembly District in Wisconsin. I support Greta Neubauer and you should, too. Read this from her campaign website:
Greta Neubauer, a social movement organizer and fifth generation resident of Racine, Wisconsin, is running for the 66th District in the Wisconsin Assembly.
“I am running for State Assembly because we need the next generation of leaders to stand up to the powerful special interests that buy our politicians and corrupt our democracy. Together we can enact a green New Deal that provides living wage jobs and protects our environment. We can embrace our diversity and ensure every person has the opportunity to live up to their potential.
“Growing up in Racine, I saw how difficult it was for many families to make ends meet. I joined the 2008 Obama campaign because, like Barack Obama, I believe this country can do better. I became active in the environmental movement when I saw politicians mortgaging my generation’s future because they were afraid to stand up to the fossil fuel industry. I have been fighting for an economy based in the principles of resilience and equity, an economy for all of us, ever since.
“For far too long, Scott Walker and his billionaire backers have been using our state and our community as a testing ground for their most extreme right-wing policies. They continue to gut workers’ rights, demonize immigrants, and lock-up people of color at unacceptable rates. We need leaders who will stand up to bad ideas, such as tax breaks for the wealthy, resegregating our public schools or using our tax dollars for an unnecessary arena.”

When Greta announced her candidacy, I wrote to Bill McKibben (with whom she worked on launching 530.org while an undergrad at Middlebury College). This is what he said:
“Greta is a remarkable woman--the perfect combination of idealist and realist, as level-headed as she is passionate about protecting the future. Her ability to connect with many different kinds of people makes her a natural for bringing about change from inside the halls of power.”
