Rick is going to be talking with constituents @ 2 locations on Saturday, July 25th:

Riverside Family Restaurant - 208 S Main St. Janesville 8-9 AM

Sophia's Restaurant - 3201 Riverside Dr Beloit 9:15-10:15

It seems any time there is a reference to Robson on the Gazette there's no shortage of people showering her with praise for how great she was as a nurse. She, herself, constantly reminds everyone of how she was a nurse. My question is, what the hell does her having been a nurse have to do with being a state legislator? She may have been, and probably was a great nurse. However, since she's been in office she's been nothing but a toady to whatever democrat happens to be in power. She's never seen a tax increase that she doesn't like and doesn't support. How did she vote on the state budget? If she voted for it, and I'm sure she did, she should be ashamed of herself, as should the people who keep sentencing the taxpayers of Wisconsin to her representation by continually voting for her.

Look around folks, how many jobs has Judy helped to save or bring to this area.....having some trouble doing the math. On the flipside, how much union $ has been dumped into her campaigns over the past years? Take a drive down to Jackson St. and Delavan Dr. and take a good look at the type of job creation Robson and the rest of the democrats provide. Then do the rest of us a favor and elect someone who may actually represent the taxpayer instead of find new ways to stick it to them.

I am thinking he was one of the first in his class to learn how to spell his first, and last name....He probably was behind the "Pizza Pizza" marketing campaign for Little Ceasar's Pizza.

Like there is really any chance in hell Robson would loose re-election. I'd put her at an opening -1200 favorite to win. Only way she would loose is if a major scandal would break. The state will have record high un-employment, record high taxes, fees going up on everything you use. But hey, that's never the fault of your representative. it's always "those other guys" who screwed everything up.

Judy Robson has lost contact of what "real" life is like. We do need term limits at the State and Federal level. I have contacted her on several occasions and I either receive a rubber stamped letter or no response at all.

Bring it on Rick. I look forward to a spirited campaign. Please keep it clean and honest.

When I was 18 years old, and a senior in high school, my mother passed away at Caravilla. Her treatment there was deplorable. But, at 18 and knowing she was going to die, I didn't know what to do. I moved away that fall and came back 5 years later to see that Caravilla was in a bit of a rigamaroll. Should it stay open....should it close??? I called Judy Robson's office and told her assistant my story. He must have passed on the information because within 3 days, I had a phone call from her and 2 days later, I received a personal letter from her. Once a year, I still get letters from her. And these are not letters bashing this person or that person or "scrounging for votes" as some of you may call it. They are the, "I hope everything is fine for you and your family" type of letters.
With so many citizens in this district, it's hard to believe that she can't answer everyones letters, calls, and emails...right? Wrong.

chuck:
with 6 billion in new taxes, with state government 100% controlled by democrats, how exactly is the party in power looking out for the "blue collar worker?"

What is his platform? How does he feel about the conversion of farmland to suburbs in his backyard? I need more info other than his bio. I have heard nothing of these listening sessions he's held. Where is that information made public?

Robson never answered any of my emails, They were straight forward questions but apparently they were not what she wanted to hear. It is time for a change all the way around, Rep and Dem

i do vote forjudy robson, butt then i figur'd out that her thingked that we was all morons who could not think for ourselves, either in the way we live or what decisions we make on our own.
It is inconceivable that we need a lawmaker to waste millions of dollars on a vote to save 22 people who can't put cigarettes out before they go to sleep, yet she spear headed the vote for fire safe cigarettes.
She claims that she is looking out for our welfare, from the perspective of a retired nurse. Maybe she should push for affordable health care for everyone. Not just the people she needs votes from.

Can't be any worse than Robson. That said, this guy seems like a lesser of two evils type.

Chuck sounds like an Elitist snob who looks down on the people who are looking for work, and he says it the republicans that don't like they blue collar worker????

some people actually enjoy working temp positions, and I don't understand someone not voting for a candidate because they are in the job of actually trying to find work for people!!! In this economic climate they should be applauded for helping people return to the work force. Chuck, you are a Lib-tard in the truest sense of the word, I am a blue collar worker who is temporarily unemployed for the summer, and I am a PROUD republican!!!

I will want to learn more about Richard before considering to vote FOR him, but Robson never had my vote due to her vote against the concealed carry weapons bill.

The way the economy is, I think she lost more votes on the new School of Nursing building, and I'm pretty sure she's lost the smoker's vote. Hopefully, when the tide turns and we do the usual political flipflop by replacing the corrupt and dysfunctional Democrats with dysfunctional and corrupt Republicans, she'll be part of the housecleaning.

I am in full support of Ms. Robson. She has been a very active voice for children and for local non-profits. She has been a continuous supporter of child abuse prevention and I will be actively working on getting her re-elected.

Timing, when you are ready, I'd love to hear about it. -- Gazette reporter Frank Schultz

Chuck, not to worry, I can assure you someone else will run for that position who has worked blue collar all their working life. Someone who has fire and desire to make District 15 the envy of Wisconsin. Someone who will be accessible and work hard on issues that will help the area as a whole. Someone who knows what it is like to lose a job while trying to raise a family. Someone who eats more mac and cheese than steak, and doesn't mind. Chuck, you can count on a candidate for the state senate who knows how to read a tape measure, as well as balance the checkbook. The candidate whose only friends will be the voters. Stay tuned.

I not voting for someone in the temp. industry. I feel sorry for people who have no other option than that type of work. Republicans can't relate to the blue collar worker.

I also experienced non-responsiveness from Judy's office when I called them (after a governmental office assured me that this was precisely the kind of issue that Judy would care about). I'm not sure why our elected officials don't understand that even a minimal level of involvement (an informational phone call, for example) would make the constituent forever indebted to them.

wonderful news this is. :)

Now maybe I'll have somebody who will represent me. since I don't get the dedication from judy robson. (and yes I, I have voted for judy) but after phone calls last week and this with her office I can't support her any more.

I'll be looking to see what issues rick richard supports. I'll be looking forward to meeting this canidate.
