Jonathan Steitz

Jonathan Steitz has launched his campaign in the recall election of Robert Wirch as state senator.

Kenosha, WI - Jonathan Steitz, attorney and former small business owner, announced his candidacy to serve as State Senator for the 22nd District today before a packed room of over 100 residents at the Holiday Inn in Pleasant Prairie.

Steitz, 37, received his J.D. and M.B.A from Northwestern University in 2007 after previously owning his own event management and production company. He is actively involved in the community with his local church as well as local athletic teams. Steitz mentioned, "This community is where I have chosen to raise my family, and I could not be prouder to be a resident here."

The young Pleasant Prairie resident, who works for a leading international law firm, asserted that, "It is time for a new direction in the 22nd District. We need lower taxes, less government regulation, and common-sense policies that will encourage economic growth for our area." Steitz also remarked that a change in leadership is necessary and that he believes, "Leadership begins with service, and ends with accountability."

"My private sector experience, along with firm grounding in the community, has taught me that we have so much to be proud of in Senate District 22 and throughout the Kenosha area. I intend for my campaign to be a referendum on Bob Wirch's service, and to have a serious dialogue about how to grow our local economy."

Of course, Robert Wirch was one of the 14 AWOL Democrat Wisconsin state senators who fled to Illinois rather than serve their constituents.

From March 9, 2011, watch Wirch and his AWOL comrades spew their venom on MSNBC.

This is a long, torturous video clip. The Dems appear at 3:15.

ROBERT WIRCH: This is a day of infamy for Wisconsin workers. Tomorrow, they're second class citizens thanks to the Republicans who took that terrible vote tonight.

It was a day of infamy for Wisconsin government when the 14 DEMOCRAT state senators ran away, shirking their responsibilities to serve.

Voters should strip Wirch of the privilege to serve as a state senator since he has shown himself to be such a disgrace in office.

Vote for Jonathan Steitz on July 12.
