Spring elections in Portage County

It's Candidate Recruitment time for our local spring elections. At our next meeting we will be breaking down the existing County Board and City Council districts. We will be identifying open seats, examining voting records, searching for candidates who are friendly to our middle class values and targeting those who are not.

We Are Central Wisconsin has identified itself with Just Cause (Requiring a legitimate reason for discipline in the workplace), the pullback of zero tolerance policies surrounding school bullying, realizing that each situation must be examined on it's own merits and no blanket type policy will serve our students as well as communicating with all parties involved, and non-discrimination policies at the city and county level.

Future agenda items will include our communities clean water, the right of all citizens to access clean water, and what high capacity wells have to do with it.

We Are Central Wisconsin has endorsed qualified candidates in the 71st Assembly District, School Board, City Clerk, County District Attorney. We are now entering the next election cycle in an even more active role. If you are tired of politicians who favor the few instead of representing the many, then it's time to get involved in your local government.

This spring every single County Board seat is up for re-election, half of the City Council, and 4 at large School Board seats. If you live in Portage County you live in an area that will be effected by this springs elections.

If not you, who? If not now, when?
