Contribute Now to Send Jeff Fitzgerald a Clear Message

It is time to stop dividing Wisconsin, and to be honest with voters. It’s time for us to work together to rebuild our state. That's why I am running to replace Jeff Fitzgerald -- and with your help – why I am going to win.

Help me send a clear message that the days of Jeff Fitzgerald's big budget handouts to the Koch Brothers and corporate cronies has come to an end. Help send the message that it's time to stop slashing benefits for seniors in order to fund tax giveaways. Your contribution of $50, $35 or $20 sends shows that we stand against the way Jeff Fitzgerald has run Wisconsin, and together for restoring our belief in this great state.

Folks who live in the 39th Assembly District -- and all across Wisconsin -- are hungry for a non-divisive, forward-looking representative. I want them to know that I intend to be that leader.
