What People Are Saying...

Representing Us…

For a Change!

Home

From bringing business leaders together at our regional United Way to representing hard-working families on the County Board, Tara Johnson has a proven track record of tackling tough problems and getting results.

Tara believes we need to change the way state government does business and it’s time to have a Senator who represents US for a change.

And that’s exactly what Tara Johnson will do as our next State Senator.

   

Representing Us - New Jobs in Western Wisconsin.

A Record of Creating Jobs. As one of the leaders on the Economic Development Fund, Tara brought 200 new jobs to our community and protected hundreds more from leaving.

 

Using Wisconsin’s Colleges to Recruit Jobs. Tara will work for investments in our local universities so that they can serve as magnets to attract high-paying jobs.

 

 

Representing Us - Cutting Taxes and Balancing Budgets.

Getting Results. On the La Crosse County Board, Tara Johnson fought to cut the county tax rate while protecting services to citizens.

 

Making State Government Live Within its Means. Tara will bring the same no-nonsense approach to the State Senate – working with both parties to balance the budget while holding the line on taxes and reckless spending.

 

 

Representing Us - Bold, New Health Care Solutions.

Helping Seniors Stay in Their Homes. Tara’s initiative provided in-home assistance to at-risk seniors and vulnerable adults.

 

Fighting for Affordable Health Care. As State Senator, Tara will also continue

her fight to make health care affordable and accessible for families.

“I am excited to support Tara Johnson for State Senate.  She is a proven local leader who will bring a progressive spirit to the State Senate. She can’t do it alone though.  I know I will be doing whatever I can to help send her to the legislature.  Please join me by volunteering and making a contribution to this terrific candidate.” 

 

-U.S. Senator Russ Feingold

“The people of La Crosse County have been lucky to have a woman like Tara fighting for the issues they care about.  Her successful record of fighting for fiscal responsibility, health care reform, and job growth is just what Western Wisconsin needs.”  

 

-Wisconsin State Senator Pat Kreitlow (D – Chippewa Falls)

“Democracy without women is not democracy! The State Senate needs diversity of thought and experience. So much of what we do is informed by our life experience and the tales of hope and struggle we have seen first hand. Electing women like Tara will bring more of that experience into the legislature and can only be a good thing for the people of Wisconsin. It’s about more than just gender though. Tara has proven she can win tough elections and that she can govern with integrity.  I hope you will join me in helping get her to Madison!” 

 

- State Senator Judy Robson (D-Beloit)
