The current incumbent, Reed Ribble, has decided not to run for re-election. Currently, Nelson is the County Executive of Outagamie County, having taken office on April 19, 2011, after defeating former Republican State Treasurer of Wisconsin Jack Voight by roughly 52% to 48%. Nelson served in the Wisconsin State Assembly representing the 5th Assembly District (northeastern Outagamie County and the Town of Maple Grove) from 2005 - 2011. He was first elected to the Assembly in 2004, defeating Republican incumbent Becky Weber. He was re-elected twice In the Assembly he was assigned to the standing committees on health, insurance, rural development and transportation and, notably, was elected Assembly Majority Leader in 2008. Rather than seek re-election to the Assembly, in 2010, Nelson ran for the position of Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. On September 14, he won the Democratic nomination in a four-way race, winning an absolute majority (52%) over state senator Spencer Coggs (21%) and two others. Nelson and running mate Tom Barrett were defeated in the 2010 general election by the Republican ticket of Rebecca Kleefisch and Scott Walker. New Home For Door Dems Margaret Lockwood and Allin Walker have provided a great meeting/office space in the lower level of the newly opened at 7 Second Ave, Sturgeon Bay. Entry ENTER HERE is from Michigan St. at the rear. The office features a blackboard wall, men’s & women's restrooms, and Wi-Fi internet access. authorized and paid for by Democratic Party of Door County DPDC JUNE 2016 Newsletter Page 4 of 7 Famous Quote Humor for the Day The worst government is often the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression. - H. L. Mencken NOTES FROM THE CHAIR In a recent Door Co. Democratic party Board meeting there was enthusiasm, volunteering, laughter, ideas and an ownership to the responsibility of getting Democrats elected. We have 5 new Board members with important perspectives that are tied to actions. This energy is contagious and so important. We have a structure and ideas and agendas and a monumental election in front of us. Please step in to the mix and add your energy, your ideas, your support. I hope that all of this enthusiasm is contagious and grows to include yours. Let's take control of our democratic process and spend the next 4 months educating, encouraging and working towards our mission of getting the fine candidates who want to represent us elected.

The question is easily answered after which the Caller will ask if they can call again with another question in a week or two. The next call or two are just as easy and pleasant. After answering another question, the Caller will say that next time he will explain the importance of their polling. By this time they apparently believe you are “hooked”, because the next call is the Hard Sell. You are asked for a $20 donation to help defray the cost of polling. Answering “no” is not accepted without a very strong pitch. So just HANG UP! In conversation with the Caller I found that their website is www.votethewill.com. This website is owned by an organization in Australia. Its website is very new - began this spring. I could find nowhere that is publishing their survey result.

  • Political Parties: State Organizations and Current Party Platforms
    Political 9 Parties Wisconsin political parties: state organizations and current party platforms Moon Crater (NASA) 864 WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK 2009 – 2010 POLITICAL PARTY ORGANIZATION IN WISCONSIN What Is a Political Party? A political party is a private, voluntary organization of people with similar political beliefs that vies with other parties for control of government. Political parties help voters select their government officials and create a consensus on the basic principles that direct governmental activities and processes. Political parties in the United States have traditionally provided an organized framework for the orderly performance of several basic political tasks necessary to representative democracy. Parties act to: • Provide a stable institution for building coalitions based on shared principles and priorities. • Recruit and nominate candidates for elective and appointive offices in government. • Promote the election of the party’s slate of candidates. • Guard the integrity of election procedures and vote canvassing. • Educate the voters by defining issues, taking policy positions, and formulating programs. U.S. parties offer a marked contrast to the party apparatus in other nations. In many parts of the world, political parties begin with defined ideologies and programs. Their members are recruited on the basis of these ideas, and there is not much room for disagreement within the ranks. In other cases, parties represent regional interests or ethnic groups. By contrast, parties in the United States are loosely organized groups reflecting a broad spectrum of interests. They are truly populist parties in the sense that they accommodate diversity and are instruments of party activists at the grass roots level. Political ideology, as stated in a party’s national platform, is formulated first at the local level and then refined through debate and compromise at meetings representing successively larger geographic areas.

The Wisconsin Electorate History of the Suffrage. When Wisconsin became a state in 1848, suffrage (the right to vote) was restricted to white or Indian males who were citizens of the United States or white male im- migrants in the process of being naturalized. To be eligible to vote, these men had to be at least 21 years of age and Wisconsin residents for at least one year preceding the election. Wisconsin extended suffrage to male “colored persons” in a constitutional referendum held in November 1849. In 1908, the Wisconsin Constitution was amended to require that voters had to be citizens of the United States. Women’s suffrage came with the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. (Wisconsin was one of the first states in the nation to ratify this amendment, on June 10, 1919.) The most recent major suffrage change was to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 years of age. This was accomplished by the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified by the states in July 1971. Size of the Electorate. Based on information from the Department of Administration, it is estimated that in November 2008 there were about 4,331,000 potential voters 18 years of age and older. An estimated 69% of eligible voters cast 2,983,417 ballots in the 2008 presidential election.
