This Friday the Sheboygan County Democratic Party is holding a Unity Rally to GET OUT THE VOTE for Tom Barrett and Mahlon Mitchell.  And a bit of excellent news - Lt. Governor candidate Mahlon Mitchell himself will be at the rally.

We need all the help we can get to make sure Democrats and all those who have had enough of Scott Walker’s devisive policies turn out to the polls on Tuesday, June 5th.  Be sure to attend this exciting event and make sure to tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers to come as well.

In addition to Mahlon Mitchell and our other invited guests, Barrett Yard signs have come in and will be available at the event.  We are asking for a $5 donation to cover our costs for the signs.  Make sure to be there to get yours!

The following is a statement from Sheboygan County Chair Andrew M. Bubb about the upcoming general election.

“We’ve all witnessed Scott Walker’s destruction firsthand. We’ve all seen how he’ll say one thing, then do another. We’ve all heard the promises that have become lies. We’ve all been affected by his harmful, extremist agenda that hurts Wisconsin’s working families and rolls back our rights. And soon, we all will replace him.

“The voters have chosen Tom Barrett and Mahlon Mitchell to lead us to victory on June 5th against Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch. Tom Barrett has the experience and knowledge to pull us out of the hole Scott Walker has dug us into. Tom Barrett also has something Scott Walker lacks: an ability to listen to the voters who elected him. That, combined with an interest in doing what is right for all of Wisconsin’s residents — not just a select few of the rich, special interests as Walker has — is what makes him the best candidate to take on and beat Scott Walker.

“Mahlon Mitchell is a fresh face to politics and that’s what we need now. He will work across every corner of the state to heal the harm Walker, Kleefisch and their radical, right-wing agenda has caused. Mahlon Mitchell will also new ideas and new ways of thinking that will take us to a position needed for Wisconsin’s future growth.

“Together, Tom Barrett and Mahlon Mitchell will lead us to victory on June 5th against Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch, so we can return to the values of compassion, care and understanding for Wisconsin’s middle-class, working families.”

We’d like to thank our guest speakers: Senator John Erpenbach, WI-26th Candidate Mike Helmke, 6th CD Candidate Joe Kallas and Lt. Governor Candidate Mahlon Mitchell who all made the evening a memorable one.

Now that the dinner is over we’re going to put the funds raised to good use in recalling Governor Walker, getting our headquarters open by the end of the month and working to get Democrats elected to office.
