Pick the candidate who can 'walk the walk'

To the editor:

As a business person with over 20 years of private sector experience, and as a two-term alderperson in Monroe, I believe Howard Marklein is the most qualified candidate for state Assembly.

Growing up on a farm in rural Spring Green, Howard lives a solid work ethic that serves him well in his successful career as a certified public accountant and trusted adviser to the job creating engines of Wisconsin - small business. In his first term in the legislature, Howard transferred his work ethic and professional experience into results that matter for all citizens by authoring legislation requiring the state to live within its means, just like we all have to do in the real world.

Creating and retaining jobs is Howard's primary goal. He understands that everybody - individuals, private and public sector workers, families and business - share an increased chance of success when the state has its financial house in order. Every candidate for office talks about creating and retaining jobs, but Howard actually knows how to. Howard can "walk the walk" while others can only "talk the talk."

Howard understands that the state budget is primarily about helping people. Not a simple transfer of income or service between the state and an individual, but a connection based upon the belief that the state has a duty to help those in need. It is an elected officials duty to use the limited resources of the Wisconsin taxpayer in a responsible manner. Howard is an expert in doing that.

Financial numbers have no alliance to a political party, but ultimately they must help create conditions for success and reach people in need. Howard Marklein understands that it is his duty as your elected representative to not just understand the numbers but to make certain that the states resources connect with its citizens in a meaningful way. He is deserving of your vote on Nov. 6.
