As candidates begin to crawl out of the woodwork for the upcoming 2008 elections, I’ve decided to start taking a look at some of the candidates running for the various elected offices here in Milwaukee County, as well as throughout the state as a whole, with the intent of highlighting some of those candidates who might not be as well known.
This week’s candidate spotlight focuses on Jason Haas, who’s running for the 14th district’s seat on the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, a seat currently held by Richard D. Nyklewicz, Jr., who isn’t seeking re-election. Jason’s campaign campaign will be centered around three main principles: Clean Government, Clean Air, and Clean Parks. Jason has said he’ll refuse to accept donations above $100, as well as any money from out of state Political Action Committees. In addition, Jason wants to work to have Wisconsin-made biofuels used in the county’s fleet, and he fully supports the Milwaukee County “Green Print” environmental plan. Jason’s a real progressive at a time when the County Board needs more progressives to protect the parks and preserve services from cuts by County Executive Scott Walker and his supporters on the Board. Jason’s wide ranging life experience, enthusiasm, and vision would serve his potential constituents well, and so BloggingBlue is proud to endorse Jason Haas for the 14th District’s seat on the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors.
