As a citizen of Dane County and as a student of the University of Wisconsin, I believe this year’s Dane County Board election marks an important opportunity for participation. Because of the events that have taken place in Wisconsin in the last year, there has never been a more important time to participate in our democracy and elect candidates we trust. Leland Pan’s activism and advocacy for students, social justice, labor and the environment makes him the best County Board candidate for the progress of Dane County.
Pan’s commitment to social services, such as the Rape Crisis Center and Tenant Resource Center, shows his dedication to the needs of our community. Because he believes the right to organize and bargain is fundamental to our democracy, he has also placed high importance on labor issues. His promise to develop legislation to solidify union rights and responsibilities demonstrates his commitment to protecting unionized employees and their unions.
Because Pan has lived in Madison for most of his life, he has a deep understanding of the issues that the people and students of Dane County face.
While his stance on issues important to Dane County makes him the best candidate in this election, his philosophy on change and progress is what makes him exceptional.
Pan will approach the position of Dane County Supervisor from a grassroots organizer’s perspective because he understands the role of government is to help the people in their mission. His experiences as an organizer have led him to the understanding that change is inspired by unwavering energy and implemented from the ground up.
Because of his philosophies and his stance on issues importance to Dane County, Leland Pan is the most trustworthy and most qualified candidate for Dane County Supervisor. On Wisconsin.
