These endorsements a great honor

                                

As  Democratic candidate for the 21st District, I have recently been endorsed by the Wisconsin Education Association Council and District 48 of the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees.I'm delighted to receive these endorsements. I'm not hesitant to stand with the public employees who teach our children, and plow our streets.

I have also been endorsed by the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, several unions, and the Sierra Club, one of the nation's leading environmental groups.

I am calling on residents throughout Oak Creek and South Milwaukee to introduce myself, and pledge to put the 21st District first, not lockstep partisanship.

Straight talk on the big issues

Competition For Mark Honadel: South Milwaukee Resident William Kurtz Running As A Democrat

(Originally posted by Erik Brooks in South Milwaukee Blog)

Mark Honadel has Democratic competition as he seeks his fifth full term in the Wisconsin Assembly: William Kurtz.

Kurtz is a former Milwaukee-area journalist and most recently worked in public relations at Carthage College in Kenosha.

I’ve met Bill, and he is excited about the challenge of unseating Honadel in the 21st Assembly District — even though he knows it will be an uphill climb.

Kurtz, who lives at 221 N. Chicago Ave., turned in 227 valid nomination signatures (200 are needed) as of June 1, the due date, according to the Government Accountability Board. Another potential candidate in the 21st, Michael Schmidt of Oak Creek, who listed his party as “Forward Wisconsin,” had only turned in 44 by that date, likely keeping him off the ballot.

Honadel turned in 394 valid signatures.
