Description | A new candidate threw her hat in the ring as a candidate for Wisconsin governor this week: Democratic State Senator Kathleen Vinehout, a dairy farmer from Alma, Wisconsin.
Recently, when a handful of possible Democratic candidates for governor addressed a gathering of progressives at the "People's Legislature", Vinehout stole the show.
Vinehout is a great speaker -- warm, passionate, and full of compelling facts. It was she who calculated, around the time Governor Walker gave his State of the State address, that 85 percent of the jobs Walker claims to have created in Wisconsin are actually jobs Wisconsinites have taken outside the state.
"So let's give a big thank-you to the governors of our surrounding states, for creating jobs for the people of Wisconsin," Vinehout declared. |
