I've been featured in a letter to the editor!

This was yesterday's Northwestern:

Democrat candidate offers change for Petri

In a time when our economy is supposedly growing yet real people are seeing their jobs disappear, it’s obvious why a change is needed this November. U.S. Rep. Tom Petri has consistently voted to hurt the working poor. He voted for cuts to housing assistance programs and against Access to Jobs grants. He hurt many citizens when he chose to vote for the Medicare Bill, which is going to prop up drug companies and hurt the elderly who so desperately need the assistance.

The Northwestern made a great point when speaking about the 54th State Assembly District race in that it is good to know there is a choice for voters. Petri also faces competition.

Jef Hall is the Democratic challenger for Petri’s seat. Hall stole the show with his speech on June 11 at the Wisconsin Democratic Convention, and he is the right man for the job. Hall is like many of us out here. He is still paying off a car loan. He works hard and makes an honest wage. He’s seen the effects on the community by Petri’s pro-corporate votes.

At a time when nobody is representing the working man in our district, we need Hall to be our representative in Washington. Hopefully the Northwestern will devote a fair amount of press coverage to help Hall get his campaign going and to force Petri to debate what’s best for our district. Without the media asking for a fair look at both sides, nobody will know exactly what choice they have this November.
