Vinehout Launches Bid for Governor

From WisPolitics.com …
State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, formally kicked off her guv campaign today with a more than four-minute video, calling for Wisconsin’s own health care solution and a leader who listens.
Vinehout, who also planned a formal announcement later today in Black River Falls, says in the video she’s created four alternative budgets to show how she’d put “the people first” with Wisconsin’s resources.
“Wisconsin needs a real leader, a leader who listens, who does their homework and focuses on solving the problems people have in their daily lives,” Vinehout says.
In the video, Vinehout says her dad was a union laborer and her mom a nurse and she was able to go to college even though it was difficult to afford. She was later a college professor, but became a full-time dairy farmer and decided to get involved in politics. She said she ran for state Senate because she didn’t have health insurance and she wanted to change that for farmers and small business people paying “way too much” for poor insurance.
“I knew there was a better way, and that’s what got me involved in politics,” she says in the video.
