Yay or nay...Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton

[linazelle]

I am being asked whether Barbara Lawton should speak at a big event in the city next year. I'm part of a group that coordinates the event.

I googled her and she's pro-women's rights. Seems like a progressive.

I'm new to Wisconsin so I don't know of her. Anybody have anything to add or that I need to know before I cast my vote?

1. Big yay.

She's a solid progressive, and a great speaker besides.

3. Great. I'll cast my vote for her then. Thanks. n/t

2. I haven't met her

but I understand she's great......

4. Yay!

She rocks!

5. Defintely recommended.

As you say very good on woman's rights. Well versed on the benefits of protecting access to reproductive rights, contraceptives, etc., and is a better long term thinker than your average politico.

6. I would add that she's very strong on the environment

and supports renewables.

7. I met her a few times

early on in the Clark campaign. She is wonderful. A softer delivery to her speech than some.

She definitely kicks ass for women's rights. She'll be at a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood that I'm going to next week.
