I was at the grand opening of the new Milwaukee County Democratic Party headquarters last night. It was a great event filled with some wonderful speakers. One of them, Mayor Tom Barrett, said something to really struck me. He said that we are just three seats shy of taking back the State Assembly, three seats! That means we are three seats from being able to pass a budget that provides an increase in financial aid for students. That means we are three seats from being able to make necessary improvements to the UW system. That means we are three seats from being able to enact legislation to guarantee health care for all citizens.
Back in 2006, thanks to the hard work of college students around this state, we were able to elect three new Wisconsin State Senators: Pat Kreitlow, Kathleen Vinehout, and Jim Sullivan. Now all we need to do is get focused, get active, and get three new State Assemblypeople elected. Can we do it? We can and we must. We are just three seats away from having the ability to make Wisconsin great again!
