With the national economic crisis causing people in our local communities to worry about their job, how they're going to pay their mortgage, for health care, groceries and gas at the pump; we all face serious issues that need to be addressed.
That's why I am focused on state policies that will help put more money in your pocket and help you and your family improve your quality of life. I know we need to work aggressively on to get our economy back on the right track.
The economic issues affecting your pocketbook are the important issues in the election for state Assembly in the 80th district. In the weeks to come, you will be hearing a lot about this election, and with all the information coming from different sources it is often hard for voters to distinguish who is sending the information.
Having been in two previous elections, I know one thing very clearly. Special interest groups have no business running advertising and sending out mail in our local races. They simply should not be involved. When these special interest groups dominate the discussion, it limits my opportunity to clearly let you know all the positive things I want to do to get our economy moving again and put more money in your pocket.
Candidates themselves should run on issues and let you decide which person can best serve you.
Unfortunately, modern elections at all levels have changed dramatically over the years and often times the voices of candidates are drowned out in a sea of special interest advertising. The courts have ruled that the First Amendment protects these interest groups, and candidates are not allowed to coordinate their messages with them. Any coordination by a campaign with a special interest group is a violation of the law. That means you have a very important job - it's up to you, the voters, to separate out the factual and issues-based ads from the negative attacks on a candidate's character.
Only you can ultimately determine what issues a candidate stands for.
With only a few weeks remaining before Election Day on Nov. 4, I encourage you take time to study the issues that you care about most. If you have a question on any issue or if you are unsure about information you received, please contact me. You can reach me by calling my cell phone number at (608) 345-8576 or by e-mailing me at Brett.Davis@charter.net.
