Lassa touts legislative accomplishments
State Sen. Julie Lassa of Stevens Point -- who is running for the 7th Congressional District seat to be vacated by a retiring Dave Obey -- attributed her work ethic to growing up on her parents' still-operating dairy farm before running through a list of legislative accomplishments for delegates.She touted her work on the state's BPA ban and children's health care, along with bills creating a fraud hotline, truth in contracting, and two jobs bills from the recent session: the C.O.R.E. Jobs Act, and a bill to pool federal stimulus bonding to help a Wisconsin Rapids wind turbine blade manufacturer.
"I will make sure that the voices and the values of the poeple of central Wisconsin are heard in Congress," Lassa said.
"With your help, I know we will win."
