Elected Officials Cite Local Control and Healthcare as Priorities
BELOIT – Twenty-one current and former local elected officials have come out in support of Dr. Brittany Keyes’s bid for the 31st State Assembly District. The list consists of eight local officials, four school board members, and nine county supervisors.
Clinton Anderson, a Beloit City Council Member, stated local control as a key reason he is endorsing Dr. Keyes. “Local governments are slowly losing the ability to govern themselves. The current representative is leading the charge in preemption. We also need someone who will fight for the taxpayers. Brittany would be a strong advocate of closing the dark store loophole. This loophole shifts property taxes from big-box stores on to the residents.”
Kara Hawes, a Rock County Supervisor, cited healthcare as a top reason. “We are refusing money from the federal government to expand coverage to thousands of Wisconsinites. We need to have someone who understands what the healthcare market needs. It is time we send a healthcare professional up to Madison to solve this pressing issue.”
Dr. Brittany Keyes is a wife, mother, physical therapist, and a strength coach for the Beloit Memorial football team. She is running to represent Wisconsin’s 31st State Assembly district. The election is on Tuesday, November 6th.
