A name familiar to many Germantown people will become even more familiar. Jason LeSage, a two-term Germantown school board member has filed as a Republican in the race for the 24th Assembly district seat.
In reading his press release, it appears we may have a choice between two conservative thinkers. LeSage indicates that he favors lower taxes, fewer regulations and reduced government spending.
He also has agreed to participate in our 'debate' with Randy Melchert; as a matter of fact, he offered to participate since he claims to be a reader. That may be the only soft spot we'll find in him :-)
He was an intern in Senator Alberta Darling's office, and holds a bachelor's degree in communications and political science from UW-Milwaukee.
We welcome Jason to the race and look forward to getting to know him and Randy Melchert better over the next few weeks and months. I had actually wondered 'out loud' about Jason LeSage as a possible candidate over a cup of coffee with a friend the other day.
Will we find a Democrat candidate before this is all over?
