Shows Campaigning in Every County
(Madison) … Ed Thompson, candidate for the State Senate from the 31st District, today filed nomination papers containing nearly 1,000 signatures from people within the western district. Thompson gathered ballot access signatures from voters in Buffalo, Clark, Dunn, Eau Claire, Jackson, Monroe, Pepin, Pierce, and Trempealeau counties – every county that falls all or partially within the district. Through the last couple of months he has appeared at more than 100 events, cris-crossing the district and even marching in three Independence Day parades. Only 400 valid signatures were required, but Thompson’s campaign has been in high gear for the last several months.
“I’m excited by the genuinely warm reception I’m receiving from the folks in every corner of the district,” said Thompson as he turned in his petitions. “Our message about creating jobs by lowering spending and reducing taxes is resonating with the people of the district,” he added.
Thompson owns the Tee Pee Supper Club in Tomah. He’s been elected to the city council there and twice elected to serve as Mayor, stepping down at the end of his term in April to make his bid for the State Senate.
