Assembly Candidate Lyerly Reports Fundraising Success

Ledgeview physician making waves in race for Wisconsin’s 88th

LEDGEVIEW — Dr. Kristin Lyerly’s 88th Assembly district campaign
raised $40,234.09 in the period ending June 30, a resounding success
for a new-to-politics candidate who didn’t officially enter the race
until May 12.

The strong start positions Lyerly, a Wisconsin native and practicing
OB/GYN, to be a serious contender for the 88th district seat currently
held by third-term incumbent John Macco.

“From the beginning, our campaign has been all about energy,
excitement, and the promise of bringing real, fundamental change to
Northeast Wisconsin and the Badger State as a whole,” said Kristin for
Wisconsin Campaign Manager Abraham Lyerly. “These incredible
fundraising totals show that our communities are hungry for change,
especially at a time when so much is at stake in terms of our lives,
our livelihoods, and our collective desire to cultivate a better
tomorrow.”

A natural leader and a fierce advocate for women and families, Dr.
Lyerly’s local and state leadership experience had led her to consider
running for office a few years down the line. But when the state of
Wisconsin sent voters to the polls in April during a pandemic, she
knew the time to act was now.

“We should never have to choose between our health and our ability to
exercise a fundamental constitutional right,” Dr. Lyerly said. “I know
we need the voice of medicine in Madison – and the incredible response
to our campaign shows there are so many people who couldn’t agree
more. I am humbled by the tremendous response and excited about the
momentum it gives us moving forward.”

Well over 200 individual donors contributed to the Kristin for
Wisconsin campaign during the initial fundraising period, reflecting
the grassroots support that has been a hallmark of her campaign thus
far.

“The 88th is a purple district in a purple state during an election
year when the stakes couldn’t be higher,” Abraham Lyerly said. “We
know all eyes will be on Northeast Wisconsin come November, and the
Kristin for Wisconsin team is committed to affecting the real, lasting
change voters in this area are demanding. Stay tuned.”
