DANE COUNTY ELECTRICIANS LOCAL ENDORSES JOE PARISI FOR DANE COUNTY EXECUTIVE
Mark Hoffmann, Business Manager of IBEW Local 159 stated, “In the race for Dane County Executive there are several strong progressive candidates that our members have received support from and would be happy to support. To pick the one that would best work for the community is difficult. In endorsing Joe Parisi, we based our decision in not only the strong moral character that Joe exemplifies but in his understanding and demonstrated ability to balance job creation and development with protecting the environment and standard of living we enjoy”.
As Dane County Executive, Parisi will focus on job creation and retention, making the county a leader in family-supporting clean energy jobs, and protecting vital human and public services that keep our families and our community safe. We have seen and been part of the growth in clean energy jobs in Dane County and Joe Parisi understands how to continue and expand those opportunities for Dane County residents.
