As Scott Walker makes his trip around the state today to promote his candidacy for Governor, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Joe Wineke issued the following statement:

MADISON – Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Joe Wineke today released the following statement on Assembly Republicans’ shameful stall tactics on meaningful equal pay legislation for Wisconsin workers. The delay came, ironically, on National Equal Pay Day. 

MADISON – Assembly Republicans today moved to delay a vote on meaningful health care reform that would limit insurance companies’ ability to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. The bill, AB 100, would provide coverage to those who need care most, while reducing costs to patients.

MADISON – Democratic Party of Wisconsin (DPW) Chair Joe Wineke announced today that Congressman Dave Obey will keynote the Party’s annual Founders Day Gala on Saturday, May 16 at the Midwest Airlines Center in Milwaukee. During the event, Democrats from across the state will gather to honor and celebrate Obey’s 40 years of service in Congress.
