DeBroux releases fundraising numbers in 1st District race, raised over $45,000 in six weeks.

DE PERE – On Friday, special education teacher, veteran and community advocate Dean DeBroux released preliminary fundraising numbers for his campaign for the 1st Senate District.

The DeBroux campaign will showcase nearly $44,000 on hand and over $45,000 raised for the July Continuing Finance Report, which covers all contributions received since Dean’s announcement on May 14th until the finance deadline on June 30th.

Dean DeBroux offered the following statement regarding the exceptional show of support for him and his campaign:

“Our state and communities have never been more divided because of extreme politicians like Frank Lasee, and I am firmly committed to restoring our shared values and interests. I’m thrilled by the support of hard working people from across the district.

“Everywhere I go, people are fed up with Frank Lasee’s attitude and his blatant disregard for our communities. It is clear that they want their elected leaders to work together for the common good, and I look forward to doing that and much more for our communities as their next State Senator.”

A former factory worker, Dean understands the importance of Wisconsin’s manufacturing industry. He understands that the people of Wisconsin’s 1st State Senate district are hardworking and should not be working full time and still struggling just to get by. As Senator, Dean will fight to raise the minimum wage because workers in northeast Wisconsin are worth more than $7.25/hour.

As a De Pere and Appleton resident for over 38 years, Dean understands that the 1st State Senate District deserves a Senator that values balance. Dean knows we must balance the needs of our small, family farms with the concerns of Wisconsin’s hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts. He also understands that we must invest in our local industries while also conserving the natural beauty of northeast Wisconsin that brings so many tourists to our community each season.
