Wauwatosa: A Sanctuary City!
Be the Blue Wave!
With all the talk of a Blue Wave in 2018, it's easy to think of it as a phenomenon we read about in the news or hear on TV or the radio.
In fact, it's something we all DO. And if we don't do it, it doesn't happen.
Wauwatosa is fortunate to be fielding four candidates who will support our progressive agenda of fair taxation, sound public education, world-class infrastructure, and democratic government. We are asking you to pitch in to support:
Tom Palzewitz, who is challenging F.James Sensenbrenner in the 5th Congressional District
Julie Henszey, is running against Dale Kooyenga in the 5th State Senate;
Dennis McBride, who is running against Walker rubber stamp Rob Hutton in the 13th Assembly District; and
Robyn Vining, who is running against a plethora of GOP extremists for the 14th Assembly District
The Blue Wave Starts Now!
The Blue Wave doesn't happens without candidates on the ballot. But to get on the ballot, our candidates need to be nominated, and that means gathering hundreds of signatures.
That's where you come in.
