capper's Recommendations For Wisconsin's August 14 Primary

The following are people that I will either be voting for or would be voting for if I lived in those districts:

STATEWIDE

GOVERNOR:

Mahlon Mitchell  - I struggled with this decision until just a few days ago. I was torn between Mitchell and Kelda Roys.  I was actually leaning towards Roys, but when I heard about her ties to Boss Abele, that killed the deal. I want to be sure that my vote went to someone who would represent us and not the plutocrats.  Also Mitchell is stronger on workers' rights, being a union man himself. 

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR:

Mandela Barnes - This was one of the easiest choices to make. I've known Mandela for years and know him to be pro-worker, unafraid to stand up to the Republicans, energetic and smart. 

STATE TREASURER:

Sarah Godlewski  - I've been very impressed with her campaign and her strong passion and will.

SECRETARY OF STATE:

Doug LaFollette  You can't beat decades of experience.  His office has taken a beating from the Republicans for the last several years and would have been abolished if not for LaFollette's institutional knowledge and political savvy. 

US CONGRESS

District 1:

Randy Bryce - My least surprising pick of the day.  Like Mandela, I've known Randy for years. I know that he is the kind of person who will stand by your side through thick and thin and is tireless in his work to lift everyone up.  He's the only union-backed candidate for the district and has run a very sharp and positive campaign, despite all the mud flinging his opponent has done.

District 4:

Gwen Moore  - Gwen is a tried and true champion for Milwaukee and for the state. She is very strong on labor issues and is absolutely fearless and tireless.  Besides, her opponent is a convicted felon. No, really.

STATE ASSEMBLY

DISTRICT 16

Supreme Moore Omokunde

STATE SENATE

DISTRICT 19


Lee Snodgrass


MILWAUKEE COUNTY SHERIFF

Earnell Lucas
