Harsdorf
Announces Campaign Focused on Family
Pocketbook Issues
Surrounded by
friends and family at her River Falls
township home, State Senator Sheila
Harsdorf announced the kickoff to her
re-election campaign. Harsdorf cited her
accomplishments in the State Senate and
independent reform agenda as the type of
voice northwestern Wisconsin needs in
Madison.
“Together, we have accomplished much.
Whether it was the enactment of the
Crackdown on Meth Act, enabling the
creation of Health Care Cooperatives, or
banning the infamous Frankenstein Veto,
the trust voters gave me to bring about
these changes was instrumental,” said
Harsdorf. “The Crackdown on Meth Act has
reversed the growth in meth labs in our
communities; health care cooperatives
are poised to help provide families and
small employers more affordable health
care choices; and the ban of the
Frankenstein Veto restored tax-and-spend
accountability to our state government.”
Harsdorf stated that her campaign is
focusing on pocketbook issues critical
to working Wisconsin families. She has
presented the most extensive issues
paper of any state candidate as part of
her “Blueprint for Prosperity” agenda.

“There is more work to do. Wisconsin
working families are challenged by a
slowing national economy. Yet some are
still pushing plans that would double
our tax burden, limit health care
choices, and impose new government
programs our economy cannot afford,”
said Harsdorf. “We need to bring about
changes that put working families first.
These include fighting for
family-supporting jobs, lower taxes, and
affordable health care.”
Sheila has received bipartisan praise
for her legislative work and “common
sense” on issues ranging from health
care to budget reform. Sheila has served
in the Senate since 2001, beforehand
being a partner on her family’s dairy
farm in rural River Falls.
