50 Reasons Voters Don’t Want the Same Old Gard

MADISON – After being rejected by voters in 2006, career politician John Gard is running for the 8th Congressional District seat again on his same old extreme record with his same old unethical behavior. The hard-working families of northeast Wisconsin do not share his extreme values, and that’s why this Bush-Cheney Republican will lose again.

During the 50 days leading up to the general election on November 4, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will list 50 reasons why voters should reject the same old failed leadership and same old out-of-touch agenda of Republican candidate John Gard – and send Democrat Steve Kagen back to our nation’s capital to represent northeast Wisconsin for a second term.

Reason #22 – Gard Voted Against Protecting StateRivers, Forests and Lakes

As Speaker of the State Assembly, Gard led Republican attacks on Stewardship, including voting to cut the bipartisan program by $245 million in the 2003 budget. The program has long protected our state’s precious rivers, forests, and lakes for future generations. (Sources: 2005 Assembly Bill 100; 2003 Senate Bill 44.)
