Dear Editor;
Leah Spicer's common sense approach to politics is a breath of fresh air and an approach that all of us in Wisconsin's 51st Assembly District can get behind. Her Democratic platform places working families, small businesses, and rural communities - the heartbeat of our country - front and center.
If you'd like to see increased access to health care; lower cost of prescription drugs; expanded early childhood education programs; enhanced paid family leave options; support to family members caring for their elderly loved ones; initiatives to make home ownership more affordable; expanded support to our local schools and teachers and a closer connection between local businesses, farms, and schools; increased investment in start-ups; a higher minimum wage; water quality testing, remediation, and research to protect our water from PFAS; an emphasis on clean/green energy initiatives; upholding of reproductive rights and the repeal of the 1849 criminal abortion ban; and an end to gerrymandering in Wisconsin, then check out Leah's website at www.spicerforwisconsin.com, spread the word to your friends and neighbors, and vote for Leah in November.
