Heidi Wegleitner filed papers on Friday November the 18th to become a candidate for County Board Supervisor in District 2, the seat now held by Supervisor Barbara Vedder, who is not seeking re-election.
In filing her papers, Heidi had this to say:
I'm running to be a voice for the single mom and her disabled child who are sleeping in their car tonight in the bitter cold and others struggling in this economy. I will work tirelessly to support solutions and fund programs to help every Dane County resident meet their basic needs and achieve their full potential. Dane County's quality programs and policies have been attacked by the state and federal government that take from the poor to give to the rich. We need a government that works for all people, not just the privileged few. I see the face of suffering every day and I know that we must-and we can- do better to address the growing poverty rate in Dane County.
Heidi is incredibly thoughtful, smart, and down to earth. Although I like the other candidates for the Dane County Board District 2 seat, I'm endorsing Heidi because I think she would be the most passionate and effective advocate for her district and the stuggling families of Dane County.
