Green Bay Ald. and Brown County Sup. Tony Theisen announced Wednesday he is running for the 88th Assembly District seat won by Rep. Jim Soletski (D–Green Bay) in 2006.
“Last year, Wisconsin had the largest budget deficit per capita in the nation and remains in the top 10 most taxed states,” said Theisen at a reception at Titletown Brewery in Green Bay. He added that the state Transportation Fund has served as Wisconsin’s “payday loan store,” covering more than $1 billion in budget shortfalls.
“We had a very do-nothing Assembly this time under the Republican leadership, and I think we're going to have a clear choice in Northeastern Wisconsin,” Soletski told WBAY-TV. “If you want stonewalling and foot-dragging, then you would vote for Republicans, and if you want to get something done, then you’d vote for Democrats.”
Theisen has been on the City Council for 24 years and the County Board for 14 years.
