Marion is for You and Our Communities

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/21/2020 - 7:57am

Dear Editor,
What is the one thing you should know about Kriss Marion?
As Kriss’s husband of 32 years, let me tell you: Kriss Marion is for you and for our communities in Southwest WI. She won’t rest until we are thriving. She will work tirelessly for us as a representative. Kriss is the hardest worker I know and is indefatigable. She will fight for our needs and our future, not for special interests or big donors. Kriss will work with both parties for the common sense solutions we need for our schools, health care, roads, main streets, and water quality.

Incredibly Frustrated and Heartbroken

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/21/2020 - 7:57am

Going Along to Get Along Isn't What We Need in Madison

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/21/2020 - 7:56am

Dear Editor,
I think it’s interesting to realize that Kriss Marion was the first woman chair elected by her fellow board members to the Lafayette County Executive Committee. And, she was reelected to the Board of Supervisors by an overwhelming majority in the latest election. Obviously she is respected in her county.
That’s why it’s puzzling to me why Todd Novak, her opponent for the 51st District Assembly seat, is criticizing her for having strong opinions and not being afraid to oppose fellow supervisors when necessary.
