Miller for State Senate Campaign’s Local Support Continues to Grow

Adds Endorsements of Current and Former Mayors of

Monona, Lodi and Stoughton and McFarland Village President

Monona – On the heels of major endorsements from Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, the Mark Miller for State Senate campaign today added more support from community leaders in the 16^th District with the endorsements of Lodi Mayor Paul Fisk, Monona Mayor Robb Kahl, McFarland Village President Erik Thoresen, as well as former Monona Mayor Dean Bowles and former Stoughton Mayors Liniel Cooper and Robert Barnett, Jr.

“I’m proud to add the support of mayors from the 16^th District communities of Monona, Lodi, McFarland and Stoughton.  I’m honored and humbled by the positive response to my message of offering real solutions to the critical issue we face today,” commented Miller.

Lodi Mayor Paul Fisk stated, “Mark Miller is the kind of leader we need in the State Senate, he’s more interested in solving a problem than getting the headline and that’s why he has my support.”

In endorsing Miller, Monona Mayor Robb Kahl said, “As Mayor of Monona, I’ve worked on many issues with Mark Miller, but what has really impressed me is how hard Mark works to serve his constituents, be it helping a senior apply for the state prescription drug benefit to helping some one resolve a problem with a state agency.”  Former Monona Mayor Dean Bowles added, “Mark Miller has always been there for the people he represents.  For him, the people, not special interests, come first.  He does his homework and knows the issues.”

McFarland Village President Erik Thoresen commented, “In the 48^th District, Mark has represented the needs of established communities like Monona and fast-growing areas like McFarland.  He’s done it by listening to what we need and then taking action.”

Former Stoughton Mayor Liniel Cooper commented, “Mark Miller will make a great State Senator.  He has the record offering real solutions to the issues facing our communities,” while former Stoughton Mayor Robert Barnett, Jr. added, “He’s not afraid to stand up and fight for what he believes in whether that means taking on Republicans or powerful special interests.”    

“The support of these leaders throughout the 16^th Senate District reflects my commitment to and work in fostering cooperation between our state and local governments.  Their support adds to the momentum of my campaign,” concluded Miller.
