Jessie Rodriguez has my vote!

There are currently some big shoes to fill in the 21st Assembly District seat vacated by Mark Honadel that covers Oak Creek, South Milwaukee and a small section of Franklin.  I believe that the fresh, Conservative voice we need is Jessie Rodriguez, someone who will listen to the people and work for the people of our district.  Her leadership skills, background, and conservative principles are what we need right now.

Jessie is unlike any other candidate running.  She is a working mom who has never run for office.  Upon meeting her, I was impressed with her enthusiasm and passion, as well as her kindness and willingness to really listen to the challenges that are important to my family. Jessie has been out every day since her decision to run for the Assembly seat, meeting the voters and listening to their concerns. Her work ethic and determination are the reasons that I (for the first time) decided to volunteer and knock on doors to introduce her to my friends and neighbors as well.

Recently, I learned that Jessie and her family emigrated from El Salvador when she was a child.  She then went on to become well educated and a leader in our community, helping parents find the best education options for their children.  Most recently, she played an instrumental role in the state budget, working alongside Governor Scott Walker to pass statewide school choice.

To tell you the truth, I don’t want anymore of the same politics – it’s getting old!  Jessie is a different type of candidate than most. She has made the decision to run for this seat for the reasons that we can only hope all of our politicians should.  Jessie is conservative and strong-willed, while at the same time always willing to listen to new ideas and truly looking for solutions that will make the lives of your family and my family much easier.

With your help we can change the same old politics and elect Jessie Rodriguez, the fresh conservative voice Madison needs.  Vote for Jessie on October 22nd!
