Onward!

As reported this morning, I can now begin gathering signatures to get on the spring 2011 ballot! I have spent much of the past month and a half knocking on doors on the south side, meeting voters, and talking about my platform—Clean Parks, Better Transit, and Community Safety. I have until January 11 to collect

In Chris Larson’s victory, a reverse-tea-party maneuver

In a surprising upset, a conservative Democratic state senator from a Milwaukee, Wisc. suburb was ousted in Tuesday’s primary election—not by someone running to the right, but rather, from the left. It amounts to a reverse-tea-party maneuver. Challenger Chris Larson won the race by 22%, receiving 7,962 votes to incumbent Jeff Plale’s 5,148, a 61%-39%

Congratulations, Chris Larson!

Gotta say it was a good day: my county supervisor pulled a reverse-Tea-Party, and ousted our incumbent state senator by running to the left. We will be discussing this at the “Primary Hangover Edition” Drinking Liberally tomorrow night!

2010 Endorsements

High time i got to this. Let’s make it brief, except when it’s not: U.S. Senate: Russ Feingold As I said previously, in this day and age when so many are hollering about “defending the constitution,” it’s a travesty that people think the one Senator who has stood up for the U.S. Constitution and our

Predictably, Sykes tries to sabotage Larson

Wallah! is reporting that Milwaukee’s squaker Wunderkind Charlie Sykes has been spreading a lie about Chris Larson. It repeats a fake story about Larson’s non-arrest when he thought someone was trying to steal his car. And, you should know, this is the same lie that push polls have been spreading about him. At last night’s

Notes from the Sept. 2 Larson-Plale debate

Tonight was the third and probably final debate between state senate candidates Supervisor Chris Larson and incumbent state Senator Jeff Plale. It was held at the Humboldt Park Pavilion. The audience made up for its small size with its apparent devotion to the two candidates. A brief rundown of the questions that were asked; bear

Plale push poll spreads misinformation about Chris Larson

You can tell incumbent state senator Jeff Plale (DINO-Bucyrus) is feeling threatened. His primary challenger Chris Larson is posing a serious threat to Plale’s comfortable incumbency. As Plale’s well-financed backers couldn’t find anything serious to use against Larson, they’re using an old true-but-irrelevant fact to try and scare voters—that Chris was arrested many years ago

Former Rep. Scott Jensen creeps into the Larson-Plale race

While tonight’s not an easy one to do blogging in for me, this is worth noting. Brookfield’s finest former Republican state legislator (well,  one a state legislator, always a Republican) Scott Jensen has started raising money for incumbent Democrat-on-paper state senator Jeff Plale. Dan Bice broke of word it today, which Jim Rowen rightfully described

Chris Larson kicks off strong challenge to Plale

It’s official! Milwaukee County Supervisor Chris Larson will challenge state Sen. Jeff Plale in the Democratic primary election this September. As Dan Cody wrote,”Chris is an energetic young politician… who has never ran from tough challenges in his two years as a County Supervisor, and I don’t expect him to stop now.” I will vouch
