Trusted Leaders Endorsing Vinnie

Dennis Raabe

Stevens Point Area Public School District Board Vice President *

“I support Vinnie Miresse for the Wisconsin State Assembly because I know he’ll support our public schools, Wisconsin workers, and women’s right to make their own medical decisions. I have seen Vinnie grow as a public servant and leader as a member of the Portage County Board, and I know he will fight for the best interests of his constituents.”

Will Scheder

Stevens Point Area Public School District Board Member *

“Vinnie is a champion for working people, students, educators, and the people of Portage County. I have been consistently impressed with Vinnie’s ability to deliver results for Portage County, and I have no doubt that he will continue to fight for us in Madison.”

Gee Pope

Stevens Point Area Public School District Board Member *

“As a Stevens Point school board member, I am endorsing Vinnie Miresse for the Wisconsin 71st district assembly position. He is a progressive candidate and fully supports all aspects of public education. While in office, Vinnie will advocate for ecologically sustainable small family farms and stand behind women’s right to choose their own healthcare options.”

Jeff Ebel

Entrepreneur and Business Coach

“Vinnie will help to create and support a bustling Central Wisconsin ecosystem for entrepreneurship and business creativity. He is committed to supporting family-owned businesses as well as big ideas. Vinnie’s leadership will be an asset to our community and the local economy.”

Meleesa Johnson

Former Stevens Point City Council President, non-profit leader

“I remember first meeting Vinnie when he joined the Portage County Board. Right from the start I was struck by his deep desire to listen to understand all perspectives and his honest, fair deliberation of those perspectives. I value that in people, but more importantly, find it essential in a leader. Vinnie will bring that approach to Madison. An approach that is truly needed. I was proud to serve with him on the County Board; I am proud to call him a friend; I am proud to endorse his candidacy for the 71st Assembly District.”

Mykeerah Zarazua

Social Worker and former Stevens Point City Council Alderperson

“Vinnie has been an incredible advocate for people in our community. He has demonstrated that he cares about people in every decision that he has made. As a county board supervisor, Vinnie routinely stood up to his peers to fight injustice at every turn, and has invigorated all of us Progressives in Portage County!”

Stan Potoki

Former Portage County Sheriff

Tammy Baldwin

Member of the United States Senate

“I am proud to endorse Vinnie Miresse for Wisconsin State Assembly because he is committed to our shared Wisconsin values, finding solutions for the common good of all Wisconsinites, and he is an experienced and proven community leader. We also share a love for Wisconsin cheese curds, fresh and deep fried, and that goes a long way.”
