Russell will protect and promote the region
Placeholder Image
It is 2008 and another election looms upon us. It is with fond memories (mostly) I remember those hectic days of my own campaigns. I am a former representative of the 51st Assembly District, a former secretary of agriculture, trade and consumer protection, and a former state administrator for agricultural development.

With the needs and issues facing southwestern Wisconsin, it is very important to elect an Assembly representative that truly reflects their thinking.

With his education and experience, Nathan Russell, a homegrown candidate, is that type. Not afraid to tackle difficult issues, but willing to offer innovative ideas to assist in solving them.

The need for new ideas and incentives to assist agriculture, attract manufacturing and other new businesses to the state has never been greater.

Wisconsin already faces a $3 billion deficit; we need legislators with courage and an eye toward the future.

Milwaukee County is asking for an increase in the county sales tax. Milwaukee schools want a 14 percent budget increase. Milwaukee County comprises 20 percent of the Legislature. They will not be timid when it comes to asking to take home more state revenue.

You are going to need a strong voice that will be heard, not just a rubber stamp for the governor, or the major metropolitan areas of the state.

Nathan Russell will be a legislator you see throughout the year, not just at election time.

The 51st Assembly District needs a representative needs to "protect and promote" southwestern Wisconsin, and Nathan Russell will do that for you.

Thank you for giving this your attention.
