Lyerly respects democracy, women’s health rights

By Aiko Schatz

Until six months ago our district had a member of Congress who had integrity. Mike Gallagher cared about our country, and he cared about democracy.

Gallagher was honorable enough that he resigned from his office when he found being aligned with the Republican Party was no longer something his moral compass could endure.

I am calling on all those Republicans who were supporters of Gallagher to choose the only logical replacement for his seat: Dr Kristin Lyerly.

I know of many Republicans who, like Gallagher, are ready to turn the page on the divisiveness, the untruths, the indecency of their party’s leader.

Dr. Lyerly is an OB/GYN in Green Bay who has spent her entire career helping her community. She is smart and fearless. She has been on the front lines of the fight for women’s health freedom, and she respects our democracy.

Her opponent, who proudly lists ‘Trump Endorsed’ in his campaign, wants to take those freedoms away.

Dr. Lyerly grew up in the middle class and has deep roots in dairy farms and the paper industry. She understands the struggles of everyday Wisconsinites. Her opponent inherited a business – nothing wrong with that, but it hardly gives him much connection to the working class.

Lyerly gets it. She will fight for all of us, from expanding broadband to boosting agricultural subsidies to improving access to affordable childcare.

Let’s keep moving forward. Vote for Lyerly.
