These Candidates are Better Choices for Moving us Forward

Living in the southern end of Sawyer County, I see lots of signs for Trump and other Republican candidates. I believe there are better choices for the good of people in our area, namely Kamala Harris for president, Tim Walz for vice president, Tammy Baldwin for U.S. Senate, Kyle Kilbourn for the 7th Congressional District, and Jeanne Bruce for the 74th District Wisconsin Assembly seat.

These progressive candidates support policies that will benefit all of us in Sawyer County. These candidates are committed to protecting our environment and ensuring we have clean water. They pledge to better fund our public schools, protect our voting rights, and strengthen rural health care services. These candidates also support access to reproductive services free from government intrusion. And none of them would cut Social Security or Medicare.

Wisconsinites agree with our progressive candidates in one public opinion poll after another. More than two-thirds of us favor more funding for public schools and oppose cuts to Social Security and Medicare. More than 70 percent of us also opposed overturning Roe v. Wade. It’s astonishing that our progressive candidates must fight to accomplish what should be the goal of every one of our elected representatives.

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Tammy Baldwin, Kyle Kilbourn, and Jeanne Bruce all offer hope for a better future for everyone and understand we must work together to achieve it. Think about this when you cast your ballot this fall. These candidates are better choices to move us all forward.
