Help Elect a Great Slate!
Wednesday, January 25th, Progressive Dane endorsed a stellar slate of County Board and Madison School Board candidates.
County Board Supervisors
District 2: Heidi Wegleitner Website / Facebook
District 4: Kyle Richmond
District 5: Leland Pan Website / Facebook
District 6: John Hendrick
District 11: Al Matano
Madison School District Board
Seat 1: Arlene Silveira Website / Facebook
Seat 2: Michael Flores Website / Facebook
Now we have to make sure they get elected! That takes money (some) and work (lots).
The money part is easy--come to the Progressive Dane Campaign Fund-raiser
Sunday February 12, 5-7 pm
Cardinal Bar, 418 E Wilson St
(Potluck food, Cash Bar, Family Friendly)
Meet the candidates, hear about Madison School District and Dane County issues, pick some to work on this year!
And for the work part--sign up to volunteer for lit drops, yard signs, coffee hosting, phone banking, and all the many tasks that a successful campaign requires. Your time can make a difference!
Can't make the fund-raiser? Donate on-line and "like" Progressive Dane's Facebook page to get notices about lit drops and other campaign activities.
County Board Candidates Wegleitner and Pan and School Board Candidates Silveira and Flores are in highly contested races and need all the support PD can give.
