As
promised earlier this week, here are the choices that you will find on
your ballot if you select "Democrat" as your party of choice on August
9, 2016.
It is the goal of the Cady Liberty Caucus to further the cause and strength of liberty in the Town of Cady, St. Croix County, the state of Wisconsin and beyond. We believe that that cause can best be served by thinking and acting locally to educate voters and to elect local officials who also support that cause. We pray that this is a service that you find useful.

If you have any questions, comments, or feedback that you would like to share with the Cady Liberty Caucus, please feel free to contact us by email at CadyLibertyCaucus@gmail.com. We welcome all comments and suggestions and hope to work with the residents of Cady to ensure that voters are going to the polls fully informed of their choices.
The next guide that we send out will probably just cover all of the third-party choices (Constitution, Libertarian, and Green) in one email summary since there aren't as many candidates running on those party tickets.
Also, if you are interested in helping to further the cause of liberty in Cady by running for office, conducting research, or reaching out to friends and neighbors, we would love to hear from you. We can be much more effective if we're all working together.
Thank you, and God bless,
Cady Liberty Caucus
