OUT OF CHALLENGING TIMES CAN COME OUR BEST DAYS YET…Wisconsin’s people and companies have been through unprecedented challenges over the last several years, from the pandemic and the economic shutdown to rising crime, housing prices and rents, and inflation. Businesses are struggling to attract and retain the skilled workforce they need to compete. In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to have experienced leadership in our next Governor and Lieutenant Governor. After being a small business owner for over 20 years and serving in leadership roles in multiple departments under Governors Thompson and Walker, I am proud to announce my candidacy to be the next Lieutenant Governor for the State of Wisconsin. If you are interested, please take some time to check out the website and watch my video at www.Will4LtGovernor.com This campaign is really not about me. It is about all of us. Together, we can build Wisconsin’s comeback story. Together, we can turn these unprecedented times into Wisconsin’s best days yet! #Wisconsin #Reform #Leadership #Experience #Together #LtGovernor
