 Elections, Elected Officials, Political Parties 
Rick Fromberg, Julie Lassa for Congress Elections, Elected Officials, Political Parties - Thursday, July 29, 2010  Stevens Point, WI—Following a statement released by the Wisconsin Republican Party, Julie Lassa’s campaign today thanked Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus for recognizing Julie’s independent record. Lassa for Congress campaign manager Rick Fromberg sent a letter to Chairman Preibus responding to a point Preibus raised that Lassa would have to deviate from her independent record if she wanted to be in line with National Party leaders.
In the letter sent today, Fromberg wrote, “You stated that ‘rubber-stamp[ing]’ a national party agenda would be a reversal or ‘flip-flop’ from Julie’s record. On that point, I couldn’t agree more. Throughout her career, Julie has remained a strong, independent leader who reached across the aisle to put Wisconsin families and small businesses first.” The full text of the letter follows. Chairman Reince Preibus Wisconsin Republican Party 148 East Johnson Street
Madison, Wisconsin 53703 Thursday, July 29, 2010
Mr. Chairman Reince Priebus,
Thank you for recognizing candidate for U.S. Congress Julie Lassa’s independence in this race as a strong leader who puts Wisconsin jobs before all else. Given Julie’s record of bipartisan cooperation in order to bring jobs and economic opportunity to her district, it’s not surprising that now and again we can be in agreement. You stated that ‘rubber-stamp[ing]’ a national party agenda would be a reversal or ‘flip-flop’ from Julie’s record. On that point, I couldn’t agree more. Throughout her career, Julie has remained a strong, independent leader who reached across the aisle to put Wisconsin families and small businesses first.
Frankly, I must dismiss the rest of your statement as pure partisan sniping. As her track record shows, Julie’s first priority is to Wisconsin families and small businesses. Growing up on a dairy farm, Julie learned early on the value of hard work, stretching a dollar, and the importance of a strong middle class---Wisconsin values she will fight for representing her community in Washington. I invite you to join the growing ranks of your fellow Republicans in the 7th District who are supporting Julie’s campaign because they too seek an independent voice to create jobs and make Wisconsin strong again.
Thank you,
Rick Fromberg
Campaign Manager
Julie Lassa for Congress
