Big Jack, I’m not a famous political figure. I have no “pull.” I’m a suburban mom who has known Tim Michels for many years, and here’s why I’m supporting him and working hard to make sure he’s our next governor.

Michels is a good man. He’s a good neighbor, wonderful father and loving husband. These are attributes that don’t get mentioned in television ads or debates, but they matter to me. I’m sickened by what the political insiders have been saying about him. Only in politics could people take a man who was born of modest means in Dodge County, went on to serve 12 years as an Army Ranger officer, and then helped grow a small family business into the largest construction company in Wisconsin, and try to make him into a caricature.

Michels has a blueprint for Wisconsin. He will prioritize education, public safety, economic development and fair and uniform election administration. You can find out more about his agenda at MichelsBlueprint.com. Unfortunately, you’ll have to actively seek out this information. It’s not Michels’ fault, but the media prefers to focus on infighting and mudslinging rather than the issues that matter. When was the last time you saw coverage of the governor’s race that focused on detailed policy differences on an issue that matters to you? I hope you'll read my entire column on Madison.com and support Tim Michels for Governor on Tuesday, August 9. |
