Wisconsin Assembly District 45 Candidate Townhall Thursday, October 20th

Rock County, WI (October 7, 2022) – Rock County First (RCF) is a non-profit organization (501c4) in Rock  County, WI whose vision is to protect liberty and freedom in its local communities by empowering the  citizens of Rock County through education and greater government accountability. This event is brought  you by the Rock County First Political Fund, which is an Independent Expenditure Committee. 

The 2022 mid-term election is coming upon us quickly as absentee voting has begun, early voting starts  on October 25th and the general election is November 8th. To learn more about the election, where to  vote and who is on your ballot, go to myvote.wi.gov for more information. 

On this year’s ballot, Rock County voters will be voting for Wisconsin Legislative candidates running for  State Assembly and State Senate. There are a number of competitive races for these positions which  will impact your representation in Madison. In order to help educate and inform Rock County citizens  on the candidates and their positions, RCF is hosting an Assembly District 45 candidate townhall where  both candidates will be discussing their positions on education, crime, the economy, and more. 

RCF cordially invited candidates from the other Rock County related Legislative races but each candidate  has decided, for various reasons, to not participate in similar townhall events. Should this change, an  update will be provided.  

Please plan on joining us Thursday, October 20th. Here are the details.

Start Small, Think Big!

July 26, 2024
Like many of our readers, pondering politics leaves me with a sense of extreme frustration. The problems of the U.S. Congress, Senate, Supreme Court and President seem so large and looming, and I sometimes feel small and useless in my ability to effect any change. That is when I remind myself that big things often start small. In our political landscape, nothing happens by chance. Things happen by mindful, intentional planning. Do you ever stop and think about where Congressional and Senate Representatives get their start? Most of them don’t just decide to run for office right out of their office or manufacturing job. Most start at levels of school boards, city councils, county boards or government advisory committees. It begins innocently enough, with most local candidates just desiring to serve their local communities. But what is important is to take note of those who shift around. Those who seem to be on an upward trajectory from a committee to an elected office; from a village board to the county board. Those are the folks who often wind up in the state legislature and some, from there, to the federal level.

Update on Ongoing 2025 County Budget Plans The Rock County Board of Supervisors (BoS) are currently in the 2025 budgeting process. There is more work and discussions to take place between now and the November vote on the budget.

What’s It Going to be, Fear or Freedom?

June 30, 2024
Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Really? The best our nation can put up for election to the highest office in the land are these two elderly men? How did we get here politically? Fear. I believe that, for decades, we’ve all been the unwitting participants in a social experiment that has crept into most levels of government. Think about the timeline of your life to this point. How many times have you handed over some kind of freedom in return for a promise that the government will protect us from a fearful circumstance that they are touting? Such protections always bloat the government and are rarely paid for, but instead increase spending and put more burden on taxpayers while often not delivering on their original promises.
