September 6, 2022 – Washington Co., WI – The Beglinger for Governor campaign announced today that Joan Ellis Beglinger is ending her run for Governor to endorse Tim Michels and Ron Johnson.
Candidate Beglinger issued the following statement:
“I entered the race as a highly qualified, Independent candidate for Governor 17 months ago and am one of just three candidates on the ballot November 8. The mainstream media and the pollsters have ignored my campaign from the start.
The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Foundation recently informed me they plan to exclude me from their October 14 debate because I have not raised $500,000, which has nothing to do with being qualified to govern. TMJ4 and Marquette University have also excluded me from their debate on October 20.
Voters cannot make an informed choice when denied complete, accurate and relevant information about all the candidates. The major players in our political system – the political parties, the media, and the pollsters – work in concert to control the information voters have and maintain the stranglehold of the two-party system. It’s corrupt.
Tony Evers and Mandela Barnes are tools of a Democratic party that is pushing a radical agenda and eroding our freedom faster than any of us would have believed possible. They must be defeated in the November election.
With just 2 months until the election, I am in my first poll and the media, who’ve ignored me for well over a year, are suddenly interested. They will try to use me to re-elect Tony Evers and I’m not going to allow it. I am going to do all I can to help Tim Michels and Ron Johnson defeat Tony Evers and Mandela Barnes.
Our path has changed; our objectives have not. Now more than ever, it’s going to take all freedom-loving Wisconsinites to expose and eradicate the corruption in our politics and restore our government to one that works for the people.”
