July 31, 2026 – West Bend, Wi – Please join me in voting for Bernie Newman for Assembly District 58 on August 11. For many reasons, he is the best candidate running.
Bernie is not a career politician. He is an honest and hardworking man who has made Washington County his family’s home for many years.
Bernie has been involved in our community in numerous ways – as a member of the Washington County Deer Advisory Council, a member of the West Bend Planning Commission, a Washington County Chair for the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, and as President of Common Sense Citizens of Washington County.
He has also supported and volunteered for other worthy causes in this area. Bernie has developed into a real leader in our area, while not forgetting where he came from and who he serves.
He truly listens to others and discerns what is important. Therefore, he would be a caring, responsible, and accountable Representative to the Assembly who would take our concerns and ideas seriously, and vote accordingly.
Bernie is one of us and, as such, he would be the best person to represent us, the residents of Assembly District 58. Therefore, please vote for Bernie Newman in the August 11th primary.
Sincerely (signed),
Jodi Williams
West Bend, Wi

*Trolling: a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll’s amusement.
