Letter to the editor: Palmer Fisher is best choice for judge

By JOAN KENT | La Farge

Angela Palmer Fisher is running for Vernon County Judge in the upcoming April 4 election. Angela’s example of commitment to our community, while she and her husband raise four boys, is something I appreciate and admire. She will bring to the bench her lived experience as a mother, wife, neighbor and long-time community member, in addition to nearly 20 years as a practicing lawyer.

I am grateful for Angela’s promise to continue the drug court program and increase oversight in child support and juvenile cases. And I have faith in Angela’s pledge to follow the law as it is written, regardless of her personal or political view, and I know she will do so with respect and conviction.

Please consider joining me in supporting Angela Palmer-Fisher on April 4.

    The well-being and education of every child should be our top priority. Children are our legacy! Older generations retire as youth takes their rightful place in society. They are becoming our leaders and caregivers.

    Much like the 1930s, when rural people had to create their own path forward to have electricity, we are facing another challenge: the transition to clean energy.

    A unanimous voice vote by the Wisconsin Senate on a piece of legislation is a rare occurrence. But that’s what happened on April 19, when state senators approved a bill to undo a decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court regarding public records.

    Letter to the editor: Kelly’s win in Monroe County should have been headline

    I’m disappointed. Nowhere did I see a headline, “Dan Kelly wins Monroe County by large margin.” Which is exactly what happened: Kelly 6,369, Protasiewicz 4,970. If the opposite had happened, I think it would have been big news. Monroe County voters showed they DO value all life from conception to death.

    I’ve had the belief for a long time that there are more people willing to pick up a hoe than a gun. In other words, there are more people wanting to live in peace and harmony rather than in violent discord.

    NOW. What a coincidence our school district’s acronym is NOW, for truly NOW is the time to secure our future not only for our students, but also for rural communities and villages alike.

    The April 4 election between Janet Protasiewicz (Pro-tas-see-witz) and Dan Kelly for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat will determine the future of the Court, and Wisconsin itself, for at least 10 years (the term length for a justice).

    In the 21 years I spent on the bench as a Circuit Court Judge in La Crosse County, I had the pleasure of having Attorney Tim Gaskell appear before me many times.
