WAUWATOSA, WI – This afternoon, joined by Democratic Senate leaders, friends, family, and constituents from across the district – Representative Robyn Vining announced her campaign for the Wisconsin State Senate’s 5th district.
Rep. Robyn Vining highlighted the values she shares with Wisconsinites across the district, and the importance of this race in Democrats’ efforts to secure a majority in the Senate:
“I’m announcing my run to flip the state senate today, to build a better government, but this story began over a decade ago. My story in Wisconsin politics began when my family and I marched around the state Capitol to fight back against Republicans’ divide and conquer politics, and their attacks on educators, workers, and public education. I wasn’t a politician. I had never run for office. I had never even considered running for office. I was a mom who wanted to build a better world for my kids–and your kids–and I am still that mom today.”
“… And a government that leaves people behind, that turns its back on the people it swore to serve, that refuses postpartum women life-saving healthcare, is a government that needs to be rebuilt. Democrats need to win the majority and rebuild Wisconsin’s future–starting right here by flipping the 5th senate district.”
Rep. Robyn Vining has the full support of Senate Democratic Leader Dianne Hesselbein and the rest of Senate leadership. In her remarks at today’s event, Senator Hesselbein said:
“There is no question that the road to a Democratic Majority runs through the 5th district. A district that Democrats won at every level last year, a district that is ready for new leadership, and it is clear to us that Robyn Vining is the sort of leader the 5th deserves in Madison.”
