Progressive Democrat Issue 97: DEMOCRATIC VISION: WISCONSIN'S STATE SENATE

From the Press Release of State Senator Robson regarding the new direction for the Wisconsin State Senate:

Democrats to Focus on Health Care, Education, Good Jobs

Senate Democrats are ready to get to work for Wisconsin families, Senate Democratic Leader Judy Robson said after Democrats picked up four seats to take control of the State Senate.
“The election results sent a clear message that people across Wisconsin want a legislature that represents and fights for their interests along with those of their families, neighbors, and friends,” Robson said.

“A Democratic majority in the State Senate means the people of this state will see a meaningful debate on the best ways to lower health care costs, create more family supporting jobs, and strengthen our schools.

“At every door we knocked on and at every restaurant we walked through in places like Eau Claire, Racine, and Wauwatosa, we heard the message loud and clear that people want a legislature that works for them,” Robson said.

Robson noted that Senate Democrats look forward to working with Governor Doyle on his affordability agenda for Wisconsin families.

“Senate Democrats stand united and ready to work with Governor Doyle on fighting for what Wisconsin residents truly value: health care that’s more affordable and accessible, strong public schools, and vibrant communities,” Robson said.

“By placing their trust in Senate Democrats, the voters of this state have presented us with a tremendous opportunity to keep Wisconsin moving forward.”

“I appreciate the graciousness shown by Senator Dale Schultz and his staff in this transition. It has been my tremendous pleasure to work with Senator Schultz. Together we have set an example for how to maintain respect, civility and decorum in politics.”
