The Dairy Business Association (DBA) has endorsed their candidate for the fall elections.

The Board of Directors of the Dairy Business Association (DBA) is endorsing Scott Walker to lead Wisconsin as its next Governor.  DBA is proud to be the first statewide farm organization to endorse Walker.  "Scott understands Wisconsin's dairy industry is a vital component of our state's economy," said Jerry Meissner, President of DBA.  Milk, cheese and other dairy products represent over $26 billion in economic activity to Wisconsin each year.  

As the Milwaukee County Executive, Scott Walker has introduced eight consecutive balanced budgets with a zero percent tax increase and returned over $370,000 of his salary to the county.  Scott is a true reformer.  Scott Walker also understands that high taxes and unpredictable regulations kill jobs, dissuade investment and cost farmers and other businesses money.

 "DBA represents entrepreneurial dairymen all across Wisconsin.  Scott Walker understands that DBA members continue to modernize and upgrade their facilities despite low milk prices.  These investments will preserve and enhance Wisconsin's dairy infrastructure for years to come.  DBA salutes Scott Walker's commitment to providing access to affordable food grown in Wisconsin to our citizens.  Our membership believes Scott has the skills necessary to manage the business of the state and turn our economy around," said Laurie Fischer, Executive Director of DBA.  

DBA believes Scott Walker is the best choice for Governor in 2010 because of his strong commitment to make Wisconsin one of the top states in America to invest capital to start, attract, retain or expand a business.
