Altoona, Wis. – Michele Magadance Skinner issued the following statement after Tuesday’s partisan primary:

“Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote Tuesday and to everyone who has supported this campaign. I’m grateful for your confidence and your support.

“There have been plenty of attempts to distract from this campaign and distort what we’re fighting for. I’m staying focused on the issues that matter to Wisconsin families. 

“I’m running because western Wisconsin deserves a strong voice, someone who will listen, stand up for our communities, and fight for the people who call the Chippewa Valley home.

“I’m going to keep showing up. I’m going to keep listening. And I’m going to keep fighting for western Wisconsin. No distraction, attack, or political game is going to change that.

“The message stays the same: western Wisconsin deserves better, and I’m ready to fight for it.”
