Dear Editor:
Judging by a recent letter to the editor, it appears some folks actually think being born outside Wisconsin's borders somehow disqualifies her from representing the 51st Assembly District. This despite the fact that Kriss Marion has developed deep roots in SW Wisconsin, gaining first-hand understanding of the district's strengths, weaknesses, and needs-at the ground (and water) level! Failing to identify any legitimate flaws in her qualifications, I await the next attempt to disparage Kriss's fitness to serve-by challenging her birth certificate, perhaps?

John Simonson,
