Roger Utnehmer, president and gerneral manager of the Door County Daily News, writes
"Bi-partisan Corruption Requires Republican Leadership: State Rep. Terri Mccormick is Providing It.
'Shamefully, Assembly Speaker John Gard and Majority Leader Mike Huebsch have led a reform blockade that can only be viewed as an attempt to protect unethical behavior,' said one of the most conservative newspapers in the state.
All Republicans are not as defensive of the corrupt status quo as Gard and Huebsch. State Representative Terri McCormick, Gard’s primary opponent for the 8th Congressional district seat, is leading efforts to clean up the corruption leadership ignores.
McCormick voted against killing Senate Bill l, a bi-partisan proposal that would have merged the Ethics and Elections Board and put some teeth into enforcement. And more impressively, she is standing against leadership and calling for a special session of the entire legislature on ethics reform.
McCormick joins a small group of Republicans who understand Wisconsin voters deserve better than the partisan defense of the corrupt status quo you hear from leaders like John Gard and Mike Huebsch.
Members of the Republican Party would be wise to look to others who support clean government for leadership, men and women of conscience like Terri McCormick and State Representatives who voted FOR ethics reform like Brett Davis, Sheryl Albers, J.A. Hines and Mark Pettis....
Terri McCormick, by making ethics in government a point of difference with John Gard, stands head and shoulders above Republicans who ignore the smell of scandal, bi-partisan corruption and government for sale to the highest bidder.
Terri McCormick is a woman of conscience, an independent thinker who puts the public ahead of petty partisanship. We need more people like her in the Republican Party … and the U.S. Congress."

McCormick said her background as a successful business person enabled her to help provide the "innovative thinking" needed to make Wisconsin manufacturers more competitive with lower-paid workers in foreign countries. McCormick described jobs and national security as the top two issues of the campaign. The latter issue, she said, involves "not only ensuring that our troops are protected abroad, but that we're standing with them when they come home."
Wall, a private business consultant from Green Bay, described a
"culture of corruption" in Washington D.C. and, as if to eliminate any
doubts about his position on the Bush administration's handling of the
war in Iraq, said U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, who has sought a formal
censure of the president over allegedly illegal wiretapping, has done
"one heck of a job for Wisconsin."
When Gard spoke of working toward market-driven means to make
Wisconsin businesses more competitive, Kagen took issue, saying the
comment showed he would work toward "the best interests of
corporations" rather than those they employ.
