John Donohue, Fort Atkinson, is a registered write-in candidate for the April 2nd ballot for County Board of Supervisors, District 26, encompassing Fort Atkinson Wards 1 and 2. I would greatly appreciate your write-in vote next Tuesday. Please write in, “John Donohue.”
My qualifications: I am a retired Commissioned Officer, with 27 years as a member of the United States Army, Judge Advocate General’s Corps. I hold master’s degrees from American University, Washington, D.C. (development banking); and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (social work). I am currently Executive Director, Citizens for a Greater Fort Atkinson; Member, Advisory Board, Jefferson County Aging & Disability Resource Center; Member, Fort Atkinson Economic Development Commission; Member, National Association of Social Workers-Legislative & Social Policy Committee; Member, American Legion, Post 166; Member, International City County Management Association; and Member, League of Wisconsin Municipalities.
I seek this position from a spirit of wanting to get to work for our communities – to give all of my lifetime qualifications and energy back to our communities and county government. I want every citizen in my District to know they are being fully represented, that I will listen to your concerns, I will act in your best interest, and I will be responsive and communicate!
I will build on our legacy of being a sound county governmental organization. I am optimistic that we will continue improving and growing as a successful community. It’s what we do here – we do things successfully. As a member of the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors, should you elect me, I give you broad professional experience. I seek this position because I want to serve you, the citizens of the 26th Supervisory District. I thrive on collaboration and transparency in all government matters, which maximizes our processes of continuous improvement.
I have met and have worked with citizens, civic groups, and county government committees, through our citizens group, Citizens for a Greater Fort Atkinson, and through other venues such as my membership on the advisory committee to the Aging and Disability Resource Center, and the Economic Development Commission of Fort Atkinson. I also have prior experience as a volunteer with the Homeless Coalition of Fort Atkinson, and Hoard Historical Museum. All of these great experiences give me the best possible vantage point for continued public service. I am deeply impressed by how we care for our families and communities, and that we strive to uphold our quality community culture. As a member of the County Board of Supervisors, District 26, I vow to carry our positive community spirit forward.
Our goals are to promote a culture of economic growth and public services by continuing our positive, tax responsible fiscal history; fostering an atmosphere of quality education; attracting a quality workforce and new business; preservation of natural resources and the environment generally; increasing housing that is affordable and available at all income levels; balancing competing community desires with available resources by maintaining strong dialog among our communities; addressing our aging infrastructure especially road maintenance; planning for future technology needs; and of course maintaining fiscal soundness. Our residents also want transparency in government, and I promise to promote and maximize that transparency. Lots to do!
I look forward to serving you on the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors, District 26 (Fort Atkinson Wards 1 and 2), with great enthusiasm and accomplishment.
Please write in “John Donohue” on next Tuesday’s (April 2nd) ballot.
Thank you!
