This election is particularly important because of the political boundaries to be drawn by the upcoming legislature. “The maps developed in secret almost 10 years ago have been a comprehensive failure in democracy. We need new vision and leadership to guarantee fair maps.” While on the county board, Hoyer wrote a fair maps resolution sent to state lawmakers and helped establish a citizen board to ensure proper political boundaries in Brown County.
Dr. Hoyer’s professional background is as an academic, administrator, and consultant in higher education. “Each of these areas have informed an important piece of what I will bring to Madison: a deep understanding of environmental issues as a biology professor, budgeting and servant leadership as an administrator, and the abilities to do debt-load calculations and develop models to prioritize spending as a consultant.” With eight years as a non-partisan representative, Supervisor Erik Hoyer wants to bring his experience serving all constituents to Madison. “Rather than lament the divides in Madison, I will work across the board and across the aisle to best represent the entirety of District 4. Everyone deserves representation, not just those in one party. This is why my campaign motto is ‘A New Voice in Madison: Yours’” |
