On Tuesday, 5/3 there are two special elections of note. In the 94th Assembly District, both your union and the AFL-CIO have endorsed Steve Doyle for the open seat vacated by Mike Huebsch, north of La Crosse. We strongly urge members to consider Steve Doyle for that seat. His opponent has already received in excess of $170,000 from out of state interest groups such as Americans for Prosperity, Crossroads and other right-wing funders. This will be a rough race, but winning it would send a significant message to the Walker Administration about labor's serious commitment to take back the state.
The other race to be aware of on Tuesday is in the 83rd Assembly District (western and southern Racine County). An AFSCME member from Local 3777, Andy Berg, is running a write in campaign for this Assembly seat vacated with Gunderson was appointed to the DNR. This campaign is a tough, uphill battle, but nonetheless we encourage public workers to support Andy.
