Wisconsin: Republican AG candidate defines "the essence of representative government"

[Scuba]

Holy Shit, he really said this ....

When a liberal advocacy group asked Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel to investigate a lawmaker who introduced a bill that would have benefited a wealthy donor, the Republican attorney general candidate pushed back.

“Why can’t a legislator press for legislation that benefits a person who has contributed to their campaign?” Schimel wrote. “Isn’t that the essence of representative government?”

One Wisconsin Now executive director Scot Ross released the response to reporters Wednesday.

“I am sure that the people of Wisconsin believe the essence of democracy is one that protects their rights, not one that takes them away while encouraging the buying and selling of official actions to economic elites,” Ross said.

1. Here is a prime reason why Jon Richards must win the WI AG election!!

I truly wonder if the WI Dems can actually come together in support of ONE candidate to overcome pinheads like Schimel!

It clearly means we must RESIST being DIVIDED so the Repukes can conquer!

Can the Democratic leadership work to bring us together??
