Now that the Wisconsin GOP has decided on the Trump-endorsed millionaire construction executive Tim Michels, our choice for Governor is clear. Do not elect someone who wants to turn the clock back on workers’ rights and is running to “turn Madison upside down.”
Jim Marousis, Fort Atkinson
Ron Johnson wants to make Social Security and Medicare subject to a vote by Congress every year. Do you want multimillionaires deciding how much your monthly check is?
Barbara Lottmann, Watertown
I have a question for the incumbents and the candidates. Will we have the privilege of seeing you participate in a Q & A forum or debate before the November election? I’m tired of the same old campaign slogans and rhetoric.
Larry Clausius, Jefferson WI
Fair voting access has always been the singular issue that separates our country from the rest, but we are rapidly going down a road where the minority will make decisions for the majority. Gerrymandering, elimination of drop boxes and reducing the number of polling places are just a few of the dangerous recent changes that will have long range effects to our ability to make decisions that will affect our county, state and the country as a whole.
Mary L. Steensrud, City of Jefferson
Decades of cutting educational budgets left teachers and students deprived of the materials, resources, and courses for a well-balanced education. We need to educate our children about the unlimited possible careers awaiting them. If we don’t, we lose the promise of their talents.
