local Oshkosh Elections
Contributed by: Campus Greens
This upcoming Tuesday, April 5 is Election Day for local offices.
In this email, the Oshkosh Campus Greens have included:
- What offices are up for election,
- The candidates we support,
- The reasoning why it is important to vote in local elections
Local Elections: Tuesday, April 5
1. Oshkosh City Council (vote 3): We support Cheryl Hentz and Brian Poeschl. Brian and Cheryl are both dedicated working-class Oshkosh residents. Our support is based on their Honesty, Integrity, and support of the Oshkosh working-class. While we may be at different ends of the political spectrum, we feel that both Hentz and Poeschl would be very effective leaders on the council (honorable mention goes to Joe Jungwirth and Brian Bain)
2. Oshkosh Mayor: No endorsement - between Paul Esslinger and Bill Castle
3. Oshkosh School Board: Instead of endorsements, the Campus Greens encourage you to NOT vote for Ben Schneider or John Daggett. We feel that neither have education as their top priority, and that neither are well informed of our current school system. The other school board candidates are Lee Wilson and J Thomas McDermott.
4. Winnebago Cty Executive: No endorsement - between Jane Van De Hey and Mark Harris
5. District Judge: No endorsement - Between Scott Woldt and Dan Bissett
6. State Superintendent of Schools: We support Elizabeth Burmaster. Elizabeth is supported by almost all of the state's instructors, she has worked to secure quality funding levels for WI schools, and she is a strong supporter of civic engagement in our schools.

Why is it important to vote in local elections?
Local councils are the tier of government which relate in a meaningful way. It is here that communities have a direct say in the development of their areas. Community involvement in debating the local budget will ensure that local revenue is used for the benefit of all in the area.
Local councils provide the mechanism and vehicle to plan and implement the programs that have already been initiated at national and state levels. Local councils provide the political platform for communities to become involved in the decision making processes - decision making that impacts upon individuals, families and communities.
