WHITEFISH BAY -- In a strong showing of district-wide support, Representative Sandy Pasch raised more than $430,000 in the latest finance report for this summer's recall election. "I am proud to receive such strong support from so many across the 8th state Senate district," said Representative Sandy Pasch. "It is clear our message of strong public education, local control and help for our seniors is resonating with the voters who feel they have been neglected by Senator Darling's lack of leadership." Grassroots donations are driving support for Sandy's campaign. More than 9000 people have invested in Sandy's campaign to fight for middle class families, seniors and students, and the average contribution is less than $40 per person. This spring, 30,000 people signed petitions to recall Senator Darling after she supported an extreme agenda that threatens critical priorities, hurts the middle class and divides the state. By giving tax breaks to large corporations while cutting investments in schools, women's healthcare and support for seniors, Darling isn't asking for shared sacrifice to overcome the shared challenges facing Wisconsin families.   Sandy and her husband have lived in Whitefish Bay for 25 years, where they raised three children. A practicing nurse since 1976, and an assistant professor of nursing at Columbia College of Nursing for 15 years, Sandy taught students in the fields of mental health, community health, and ethics. A relative newcomer to the State Assembly, Sandy has focused on strengthening education, improving health care and creating jobs during her three years as a state representative. ###
