Barb Black's Convention Report

I was privileged again this year to be a delegate to this years Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention 2011 held at Wilderness Lodge in Wisc. Dells May 20-22. As usual it included Seminars, receptions with various legislators and ended with the Prayer Breakfast Sun. AM, my favorite part. It was a record breaking crowd of over one thousand in attendance, esp. for an off election year.

Speakers/guests included the new Rep.National Chairman from Wis. Reince Priebus; our new State Chairman, Brad Courtney; Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, Sen. Ron Johnson, the following Congressmen Jim Sensenbrenner,  Paul Ryan, Tom Petri, and Sean Duffy; State Treas. Kurt Schuller, Sen Maj. Leader Scott Fitzgerald, assembly speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, Wisc. Dells Mayor Brian Landers, and Wisc College Rep. Chair Matt Rossetto. Radio talk show host, Brian Schimming, emceed most of the event. 

There were many more too numerous to mention and of course our district senators and assemblymen including Dan Kapanke, Warren Petryk and Tom Larson. Our own third district chairman, Maripat Krueger from Menomonie, received the 2010 Bovey Award, a very high award given to few people that are outstanding in dedication and sacrifice over the years to the party. My picture with Gov. Walker was taken Sunday after the breakfast.
