Wisconsin Green Party Gubernatorial Candidate Nelson Eisman Kicks Off Campaign on Monday, 5:00 PM
Green Party gubernatorial candidate Nelson Eisman formally kicks off his campaign at 5:00 PM, July 10 on the State Street steps of the Capitol. Music will be provided by Ken Lonnquist and the Whateverlys.
Eisman's campaign promises to be a refreshing change from politics as usual in Wisconsin. "I am running for Governor to bring Wisconsin government back to the people. I know the people of Wisconsin want someone they can trust. In partisan politics I believe it is the Wisconsin Green Party that offers the voters a chance to vote their hopes, instead of their fears", Eisman said.
"If elected, I promise to work for: honest government, universal health care, green energy and economic justice. My first order of business will be to rescind all work rules that restrict public employees from discussing the policies and practices of their agencies with the media or anyone else. The government must be open to be clean," Eisman says.
Some of the highlights of Eisman's platform include progressive income tax-based funding for education, repeal of the property tax, prison reform, and free hunting and fishing licenses for senior citizens.
Also present to celebrate the campaign kick-off will be Rae Vogeler, candidate for US Senate, and a representative for Leon Todd, the Green Party's Lieutenant Governor candidate. The crowd is invited to the Flatiron Tavern, 102 King Street for a party immediately following the event.
Nelson Eisman is a long-time Madison resident and active community volunteer, who has served on the Dane County Regional Planning Commission and City of Madison Commission on the Environment, been a union steward for public employees, and performed with many local community theater groups. He and his wife, Annette, have three children and three grandchildren.
