Could Robin Vos be vulnerable in the upcoming election?

Kick this fucker's ass to the curb District #63!

Independent spending in the Racine-area race against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Burlington) skyrocketed over the past week

A week ago on Monday about $19,300 had been reported in express spending by outside advocacy groups in the 63rd Assembly District where Vos is being challenged by Democrat Joel Jacobsen in a rematch, according to a Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (WDC) report.

A week later that amount surged to $300,000, or almost 15 times greater, in outside expenditures, according to WDC records, most of it against Vos. (Around $45,000 was spent in support of Jacobsen.)

The largest expenditure was $175,300 by A Better Wisconsin Together, which spent $175,000 against Vos and roughly $300 promoting Jacobsen. Two years ago Vos easily beat Jacobsen, getting 61% of the vote. Jacobsen spent less than $5,000 in that race.

In Watertown last week and mostly Fitzgerald signs. About half the yards were Biden though. Maybe that trickles down ballot.

The GOP has so severely gerrymandered this one district that over 70% of all votes must be Dem to win.
That is what it will take to end this hacks career.

Hopefully, teh voters in Disst 63, will realize that change will force the GOP to moderate in the future. Obstructionists, like Vos have been destructive to Wisconsin's economy.
Family Farm bankruptcies are a direct resul of Vos' actions. He has violated open records laws as a personal vandetta campaign.

This was, like Joe McCarthy, one of Wisconsin's worst political choices.

It's time to make the correction and remove Vos and other GOP's from office in 2020.
