Meet Tom Palzewicz, Candidate For Fifth District Congress

BROOKFIELD, WI — Tom Palzewicz is a Democratic candidate for Wisconsin's Fifth Congressional District, currently held by incumbent James Sensenbrenner.

Please characterize where you fall on the political spectrum (liberal/moderate/conservative, etc.):

I'm a pro-business Democrat who believes that the economy needs to work for all stakeholders including businesses, workers, consumers, and the environment.

Please describe your relevant political experience:

After serving on a nuclear submarine in the U.S. Navy, I spent 15 years in risk management for banks, and as Treasurer of the mortgage division at a major bank, my foresight helped that institution avoid participating in the risky lending that led to the 2008 market crash. I then started my own firm helping other small businesses create good-paying jobs in the south-eastern Wisconsin area, including more than 1,000 in the last two years alone. I believe in servant leadership, and I believe in Wisconsin.
