Brownlow Secures Nomination Signatures

Jim Brownlow's campaign announced that their candidate has met the requirements - and then some - to qualify as a candidate in the 83rd Assembly District election.  The seat was vacated by Scott Gunderson last year, and Brownlow is the Democrat running against Republican candidate David Craig.

Brownlow submitted 400 signatures, which were the maximum allowed by law, and a release from his campaign stated that "the public turnout to sign for his nomination was an overwhelming 882 signatures."

Brownlow called the the response "a strong indication that Wisconsin citizens want Madison to pay more attention to the needs of us average folks."

Brownlow's opponent has also successfully filed 295 nomination signatures to secure a place on the ballot as well.  The special election will be held on May 3.
