2010 Endorsements

Please Vote on April 6th!

I'm humbled by the many groups and individuals who have endorsed me as District 24 County Board Supervisor. I believe these endorsements reflect the work, transparency and accountability I bring to this position. I look forward to representing District 24 for another 2 years with the confidence of the voters of District 24.

Here's what some of my supporters say:

State Senator Mark Miller (former District 24 County Board Supervisor):
"Robin is a stong advocate for District 24. Her common sense approach combined with her knowledge of the issues makes her a great supervisor!"

Monona Mayor Robb Kahl:
"Supervisor Robin Schmidt keeps us informed on county issues and works hard to represent the needs of District 24."

Bob Miller (former Monona Alder):
"Robin stands up for District 24 when it comes to our lakes - she makes sure efforts to minimize flooding continue and works hard to improve water quality. We need Robin's continued work on our behalf."

Principal Ann Schroeder (Maywood and Winnequah Schools):
"Robin listened to our concerns and maintained funding for the Joining Forces for Families program that partners with our schools to support families in crisis."

Sheriff Dave Mahoney:
"Robin's support of critical public safety programs including full funding for the 911 center means we can continue to keep Dane County a safe place for all citizens."

Wisconsin State Journal:
"Robin Schmidt's background as a hydrologist helps her represent this district along Lake Monona well. During her first term on the board she pressed for better lake management to ease flooding. She also sees regional cooperation on transportation as key to providing Monona with better bus service."

And the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce says:
"(She) possess[es] strong skills and would understand business-related issues"

Other elected officials that endorse me include:

Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz
Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk
Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard
State Representative Joe Parisi

Other groups that have endorsed me include:

Sierra Club (with a 91% voting approval record)
AFSCME-People
South Central Federation of Labor

I thank the many, many individuals in District 24 who trust in me to represent them on the Dane County Board and vote for my re-election on April 6th!
