JOIN THE PARADE AND CELEBRATE LABOR DAY
On Labor Day, we recognize and honor the achievements of all of America’s working people.

This Labor Day, we stand together for the freedom to collectively bargain together with your coworkers as a team for a better life.
Celebrate with your union brothers and sisters and community members around the state as we honor all who labor. On Labor Day, ...

CONVERSATIONS AT THE COUNTY FAIRS
I love county fairs. I love the sights, sounds, smells and the tastes of the fair. Moreover, I love all the people. Adorable little kids wander around with snow cones. Grandparents catch up on family news. Hardworking 4-Hers show cattle, cakes and cookies.
I especially love the opportunity for conversations with voters about things of importance. The relaxed atmosphere of the fair invites good conversations about what’s going on and how our state should help.
Cookies, roads and health care took up much of my conversations.
Several home bakers spoke with me about ...

CELEBRATING WISCONSIN’S DAIRYLAND
“Do you still milk?” I asked Jim at a recent gathering. “No,” he told me. “My son tells me the most help I can be is to stay out of the way,” he joked. We both agreed that was hard. Dairying gets in your blood.
June is dairy month. A time to celebrate all we love about ‘America’s Dairyland’ – home to 1.28 million dairy cows, which is more than one cow for every five Wisconsinites.
Reminiscing with an old dairy farmer, you realize the love of cows and farming never really goes away. The smell of newly mowed hay or the glistening dew on the field ...

ON LEGALIZING DRUGS
(You can read more of Denele’s writing at www.denelecampbell.org)
Americans must confront the reality that we are the market,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said this past Thursday. “We Americans must own this problem.”[1]
Meeting with his Mexican counterpart, Tillerson acknowledged the role of American drug consumption in the proliferation of violent Mexican drug cartels. Citing the enormous demand for heroin, cocaine, and marijuana by Americans eager to get high, he argued that “drug trafficking had to be addressed as a ‘business model,” attacking ...
