Editor’s note: information below has been provided by a political candidate announcing her intention to run for office. Other candidates wishing to run for political office will have equal opportunity to announce their intentions.
Ellen Schutt, Clinton-R, has declared her candidacy for the Wisconsin State Assembly, District 31, according to information released by the candidate.
Within the release Brown said: “I am running for the 31st Assembly District. I was raised in Darien on my parent’s farm with my four siblings. On the farm, we raised cattle and grew crops, and there was always work to be done. Growing up, my parents taught us that if you work hard and play by the rules you will be successful. The strong work ethic our parents instilled in us pushed us to chase our dreams and be successful.”
According to the release, the candidate lives in Clinton with her husband, Eric, and a beagle pup named “Ruby.”
Said Schutt within the release: “As we think about starting a family of our own, I want to make sure the next generation has the same opportunities and abilities to succeed that I had. Due to increased government spending, inflation has skyrocketed, and the cost of nearly everything has gone up. It has become harder for people to buy their first home, start a business, or start a family. I’m running to make sure your tax dollars are spent responsibly. We must cut wasteful spending that adds to government bureaucracy and slows down growth. We have to get back to the basics and support the basic functions of government, which is to keep people safe, and protect our liberties.”
Schutt said she began her career in politics as a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, noting: “I got tired of the one-sided political debate in the classroom and wanted to make sure conservative students knew they had a voice on campus.”
She began two conservative groups on campus, she said, including chapters of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), and the Luce Society.
Additionally, while studying at the University of Wisconsin Schutt said, she interned in the offices of State Rep. Amy Loudenbeck in the State Capitol and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan in his Janesville district office.
“I also worked for UW-Athletics and worked at the DeLong Company. After I graduated, I worked as a legislative aide for Representative Loudenbeck. I learned how the process works in the State Capitol and how to get things done for your constituents. I understand that you must work with others to get things done for the communities you represent. I have worked both in the State Capitol and had private sector jobs. I understand both sides. I believe that is important and sets me apart, Schutt stated in the release.
She added: “We need a representative in Madison who listens to the communities they represent and is a voice for them. We need to keep our tax dollars local, or send them back to taxpayers through a tax cut. We need to support law enforcement and first responders who bravely serve our communities and keep us safe. We need to protect our most vulnerable populations. We must cut wasteful spending that prevents people from being successful. I want to put the people back in charge of their government and allow them the opportunity to follow their dreams and get the government out of the way.”
