Dan Cody for Milwaukee County Supervisor

I will be offering the readers of my blog a number of endorsements throughout the 2008 campaign season. My first official endorsement is Dan Cody for Milwaukee County Supervisor - 15th District.

After years of uninspiring leadership in the 15th District, the time is ripe for change. Dan Cody represents the best chance for residents in his district to have their interests protected and voices heard on the County Board. For too long, incumbent Lynne De Bruin has given conflicting statements about her position on important issues and often votes with little (if any) public involvement. Most recently, De Bruin voted against a penny sales tax public advisory referendum before sending out a postcard to her constituents, requesting their opinion on how she should vote. De Bruin rarely attends community events or meets with district residents. Indeed, the only time De Bruin is guaranteed to show up is on Charlie Sykes' talk show or when she is running for reelection. This blatant lack of regard for the people she was elected to represent is inexcusable.

As County Supervisor, Dan Cody will bring strong and effective leadership to the 15th District. Dan will restore faith in county government, clean up the fiscal problems, invest in a safe and strong infrastructure, and stand up for working families. Dan understands responsibility and sacrifice. In addition to his role as a husband and father, Dan is employed full-time and also works as a leader in the Democratic Party, community organizations, and his union. Dan will listen to every resident of his district and stand up and work hard for their needs.

To learn more about Dan and his vision for Milwaukee County, please visit his web site. Please donate any time or money you can spare and, if you reside in the 15th District, remember to vote for Dan Cody on April 1, 2008.
