Madison- Amy Loudenbeck (R-Clinton) is running for the office of Wisconsin Secretary of State to make it an office that actually works for the people of Wisconsin and has a role in restoring confidence in our elections process.
“Yesterday, Doug La Follette indicated his intention to seek re-election on a platform that includes doing absolutely nothing – he’s content to sit around while his office is closed, collect a taxpayer funded paycheck and ignore concerns from Wisconsin citizens,” said Loudenbeck.
La Follette told the Associated Press his motivation to run again was to keep the legislature from giving the Secretary of State’s office the power to run elections in Wisconsin.
“Restoring confidence in our elections should be every elected official’s top priority,” said Loudenbeck. “The constitutional office of Secretary of State could add value to WEC in a lot of ways like improving transparency, helping standardize election materials, and increasing voter outreach and education. These are policy changes we should be talking about, and Doug La Follette wants to block them so he can protect the status quo and continue his do-nothing legacy. I intend to continue to talk to voters in every corner of this state and hear what issues they think are important and how we can make this office work again. I’m not running just to win the office for the party.”
“During my tenure in the legislature, I have built a reputation of working hard and getting things done. My colleagues know this office is broken, and they know I’ll put in the work needed to fix it,” said Loudenbeck.
Today, Loudenbeck announced her first round of legislative endorsements for her bid for Secretary of State, totaling well over half of all republican members currently serving in the Wisconsin State Legislature.
“I’m incredibly honored and humbled by their support for me and my campaign for Wisconsin Secretary of State. Together we can consider a broad range of policy options to add value to this office and make sure Wisconsin continues on the best path forward. Whether it’s election reform or better business services, there’s a lot of work to be done.”
