March 24, 2022 – Washington County, WI – Division and dependence are being used as political strategies to grow the government. Our fundamental rights are under assault. The risks to our democracy have never been greater and I cannot sit on the sidelines.
In April, I declared my candidacy as an independent for Governor of Wisconsin.
Both parties have disqualified themselves from our support by chasing power and control and rarely producing outcomes that matter to us. Career politicians have replaced citizen legislators.
I will govern from basic principles that are critical to a free society:
The governor is the CEO of the state. The bureaucracy must be managed to support our citizens’ pursuit of the lives they want to live.
I am coming out of retirement as a hospital administrator of nearly 30 years and a critical care clinical nurse specialist with 10 years of clinical practice. My track record of producing outcomes that were among the best in the country is long, public, and measurable.
Candidates will tell you about all the great things they’ll do for you. Competence is not what we say we’ll do, but what we’ve achieved. I have the character, competence, and courage to lead.
Joan Ellis Beglinger
2022 Independent Candidate for Wisconsin Governor

*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.
