Hello Cady Residents,
August 9, 2016 is the partisan primary election where you will be asked to choose a party affiliation (Republican, Democrat, Constitution, Libertarian, or Green), and then you will be asked to select from the candidates for that particular party for each seat that is up for election.
Since most of the residents of Cady tend to vote Republican, we thought we would start by sending out a list of the Republican candidates that will appear on the ballot with some links to their campaign websites, biographies, and perhaps some additional information that might be of interest to voters.
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.
