Candidates to discuss tobacco,
health issues
MONROE
- Rep. Brett Davis and Democratic Assembly District 80
candidates Kris Wisnefske and John Waelti will discuss
their positions on funding for tobacco prevention programs,
health care and dental care coverage for those not covered in
Green County as well as other health related topics at a forum
Saturday July 19, at the Green County Fairgrounds in the WEKZ
tent. The forum will run from 5 to 6 p.m.
The forum is
being sponsored by the Green County Health Department. After a
brief discussion on the relevance of these issues in the
county, candidates will be asked questions in a moderated
question-and-answer format.
"This forum will give
citizens the opportunity to learn more about some of the most
important health care topics facing us here in the county and
get a chance to hear directly from the candidates prior to the
primary election in September and the general election in
November," said Jaime Batz, Public Health Nurse at the Green
County Health Department. "We are interested in learning about
what priorities the candidates have and what solutions they
will offer for funding tobacco prevention programs, Medicaid
and decreasing the gap many Green County residents experience
when unable to access health and dental care in our
county."
