Democratic former state Rep. Kristen Dexter released a new TV ad in northwestern Wisconsin, in her effort to unseat Republican state Sen. Terry Moulton, who has been targeted in the state’s heated recall elections.
In addition to the recall election targeting Gov. Scott Walker, Democrats are making another effort at winning a majority in the state Senate via recalls. Following a near-miss in 2011, Democrats would need to gain one seat, out of four races on the ballot June 5, in order to take control.
“Terry Moulton’s divisive politics have torn our state apart,” Dexter says in the ad. “Madison is broken. Instead of shared sacrifice, Terry Moulton is giving tax breaks to corporations — and at the same time he’s making massive cuts to education, while kicking people off their health care.”
“This is the moment that we all have to say, ‘Stop. This is wrong.’ The way we’re going to solve Wisconsin’s problems is by asking everybody to pull their weight. Working together is the way we move forward. That’s the kind of senator I’ll be.”
