…so says Heather Blish, who introduced herself at a recent town hall meeting hosted by Congressman Steve Kagen as, “just a mom from a few blocks away, and not affiliated with any party.” When asked about her political affiliation later, Blish went on to add she hasn’t been a member of a political party in two years. However, there’s one little problem with that statement: Heather Blish’s own LinkedIn profile shows she was an Advisor to the IT Committee of the Republican Party of Wisconsin until 2008, and she also served as Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party of Kewaunee County until 2008.
Here’s some video:
Now I don’t find fault with Heather Blish for attending Rep. Kagen’s town hall, if she was truly there as a “concerned mom,” but what I don’t understand is why she felt she needed to lie about her background, if her motives for attending were really as benign as she stated.
Or could it be that she, like many others, has become disenchanted with the Republican Party, and that resulted in her public denial of affiliation with a political party despite contrary evidence?
Zach…so do you believe me when I say I’m not a Republican??
Anon, I believe you’re complicated. You don’t fit neatly into either party.
