Dear Waukesha County Community Residents,
I am asking for your vote one week from today so we can continue to move our economy forward. I am a Mom on a Mission and have been working with many of you through the years to make Waukesha County a great place to live, work, and raise a family. The challenges we face as our economy rebounds from the recession are deep challenges and Governor Walker needs an experienced leader in Madison to help turn things around faster. There's more work to be done when it comes to economic development, job creation and education reform. People in our state want a paycheck, not an unemployment check. You can count on me to support Governor Walker's budget initiative to cut income taxes so you can keep more of your hard earned money. The answer to addressing our state's challenges lies in spending less of our tax dollars on programs that are wasteful and unnecessary and not taxing us more. A major area of focus for me will be to help close the skills gap. We need to create an available pipeline of skilled workers so our employers can grow their companies right here at home and give our people pathways to achieve the American dream through job opportunity. I am a hard worker and will be job ready on day one to help Governor Walker put our state back on the path to prosperity. That's why our Sheriff Dan Trawicki and District Attorney Brad Schimel along with many other leaders have endorsed my candidacy. I ask for your support too.

Interesting there is no mention on Lt. Gov Kleefisch's endorsement. Does the Lt. Gov. still endorse your campaign?

Ms. Tarantino,
In a sworn deposition two months ago, you told the court that the reason that you did not file a discrimination claim against the Lt. Governor of the State of Wisconsin is that you never intend to work in this state again. That was two weeks AFTER you declared your candidacy. Therefore, I must ask that if you were to be elected, would you (1) immediately resign from the position so that you do not have to work in Wisconsin, or would you (2) file a discrimination complaint against the Lt. Governor of our state, Rebecca Kleefisch?
