The Dairy Business Association (DBA) has endorsed Jeff Plale for the 7th Senate District. Jeff is a common sense legislator that applies practical, everyday know-how to attract businesses to grow Wisconsin's economy.
"Senator Plale has the courage to stand up for Wisconsin's citizens and dairy industry," said Laurie Fischer, Executive Director of DBA. "He has worked hard to ensure our farmers have the ability to grow and produce enough food to feed our nation in an environmentally safe manner."
"Senator Plale represents an urban area, yet he recognizes the tremendous contribution our dairy farms, located in rural areas, make to our state's economy," commented Jerry Meissner, President of DBA. "He has fought hard to keep Wisconsin as America's Dairyland."
The Dairy Business Association is also endorsing a new candidate for senate in north east Wisconsin.
DBA has selected Dave Hutchis as their candidate for State Senate in the First Senate District. Dave has a vast knowledge and experience in reforming and streamlining state government.
As a former member of the State Assembly, Dave was on the Wisconsin Works (W-2) Welfare Reform Committee. He played a vital role in crafting and passing legislation that has dramatically reformed our government. This legislation also served as a national model for Congressional reforms.
"After reviewing Dave's response to our candidate questionnaire, it was clear that his top priority is to create jobs to grow our economy," said Laurie Fischer, DBA Executive Director. "Dave recognizes that we need a streamlined and reformed regulatory process in Wisconsin that does not inhibit dairies from growing."
"Dave was raised on a dairy farm in Northeast Wisconsin. He understands the important role dairy operations of all sizes play in the lives of our citizens and our state's economy," said Jerry Meissner, President of DBA. "Dave recognizes his district's prominent position as one of the top leaders in milk production in the state contributing over $3 billion of economic activity each year."
