Related: About this forumNeed a little help....Roys or Pocan?
Still unsure which one I am going to vote for.
Both would be good I think but short of flipping a coin I don't know which way to go.
I like the idea of having more women in government(I am a male) and I think the world would be a better place if women ran the show.
I like the idea of a Rep willing to go on the attack but I am not fond of Roys going negative against a fellow Dem.
Pocan seems like a good person and I have no qualms about voting for him as well.

(34,658 posts)I think more will vote for Pocan simply because he has paid his dues. He's been in the Assembly for 14 years and Roys has been in for 4 years. He seems to have great enthusiasm for public service and has learned how to work with people across the aisle. He has attended ALEC conferences to get a handle on what the right is doing. He is bold and outspoken, and if he is elected I think we will proudly see clips of Marc on national news making passionate speeches in the House. He's supported a lot of things in the State Assembly that I would love to see come up in the House of Representatives.
And it doesn't hurt that he is a gay man.. gays are also under-represented in government, and Madison is one of the few places where people are not going to hold that against a candidate at all.
I really don't like Roys negative ads, but the main reason I'm voting for Pocan is that he has more experience.

I like Mike Quieto for Dane County clerk and Dave Patrick de Felice for Dane County Treasurer.
