VOTE APRIL 5!

The Central WI Grassroots Coalition is a coalition of area community groups, labor unions, and county residents.  These groups are working together to promote progressive values, family- and worker-friendly policies, and good environmental stewardship in Portage County.

On Thursday, February 18, the Coalition held a series of candidate interviews.  After the interviews and after reviewing the questionnaires submitted by the candidates, the Coalition voted to endorse the following candidates in the April 5 elections:

Portage County Board:  Meleesa Johnson, District 3;  Sam Levin, District 4; Julie Morrow, District 5; Robert Steinke, District 19; Ron Becker, District 20; Tim Corcoran, District 21; Barry Jacowski, District 23; and Gerry Zastrow, District 24

Stevens Point City Council: David Shorr, District 2 and Cathy Dugan, District 8

Stevens Point Area School Board:  Rory Suomi and Dan Kontos

The following unopposed candidates were also endorsed by the Coalition:  Heidi Oberstadt (City Council); Tom Mallison, Matt Jacowski, Jim Gifford, Stan POtocki, Dan Dobratz, Bo DeDeker, and Chris Doubek (Portage County Board).

We believe these candidates will fairly and equitably represent the residents of Portage County and will promote the progressive values that are important to members of the Central Wisconsin Grassroots Coalition.


Please remember to vote on April 5!
