Kathleen Vinehout - the next Governor of Wisconsin! [View all]

I've admired her SO much as I've watched her over the past year. She fights for ALL of Wisconsin. Please learn more about her, and encourage her to throw her hat into the ring.


Her biography from her 2010 State Senate campaign website:

A GREAT video that lets you see that she's an actual human being:

and a brief article, stating that she's considering a run for Governor (which I didn't know when I started posting on Facebook about her today):

Please encourage her to run. I have been in SO many Senate hearings and floor sessions this past year, and Kathleen Vinehout's compassion, intelligence, experience, passion, education and humility have been a gift to our State.
