Congratulations Tom Barrett on the Primary Victory!

The time has finally arrived to remove Scott Walker from office. After 16 months of preparing for this race, it is finally here, and it’s time to charge ahead full strength. We can’t afford to have anyone sit this one out. In the upcoming events, I have listed all of our volunteer shifts for the week. Please look them over and let me know which shifts you can take. Then forward the list on to 5 friends, family members, or co-workers and ask them which shifts they can take as well. We need all of you on this one!!! Please sign up!!

Office Hours

Our office is currently open: Tuesday – Friday, 11 AM – 5 PM; Saturday, 10 AM – 2 PM. We would like to extend the office hours during the campaign, but in order to do that, we need more office volunteers. I have listed the particular shifts we need filled for the extended office hours. If you’d like to work in the office, but none of these days and times work, please contact Gretchen Fincke at gfincke@charter.net to get on her list for other shifts. Thank you!

Mondays: 11-1; 1-3; 3-5
Thursdays: 7-9

Tanya Lohr, chair of the Democratic Party of Washington County, is running for Wisconsin State Senate for District 20 against Glenn Grothman.

Biography: Lohr has been a teacher for 16 years, spending the past 13 years teaching global studies at West Bend West High School. She is currently Chair of the Democratic Party of Washington County and a recent graduate of Emerge, a leadership training program for Democratic women interested in running for public office. She is married to fellow teacher, Andy Kougl. Their family includes their six year old twins and Kougl’s two teenage daughters.

“I want to restore adequate funding for public education, respect for women, affordable family health care and strengthen our communities by empowering working people,” Lohr said.

Lohr helped lead both the Grothman and Walker recall drives before being elected to lead the Washington county Democrats last fall. She is also the Political Action Chair and a Building Representative for the West Bend Education Association.
