Robinson Making It Official

As we did for Tyberg a while back, here is the link to a Chippewa Herald article about Dave Robinson.

Excerpts:

Robinson, 45, a pilot for Northwest Airlines, formally announced his candidacy for the 7th District seat at a news conference Monday at the Chippewa County Courthouse.

He said he decided to run after Obey ran without Republican opposition in 2004. “That was unacceptable,” he said.

On the Issues:

As your next congressman, I will work and vote consistently to lessen your tax burden,” he said in a prepared statement.

Robinson said he wants to give tax breaks for individuals and small businesses who pay for their own insurance.

“Small businesses should be able to 'pool' their buying power to get lower rates. Dave Obey has blocked such efforts in Congress,” he said.

Robinson said America has to develop long-term energy sources that can be produced in the United States and are environmentally friendly. “That's where I differ from Dave Obey, who has opposed such efforts and hasn't done anything I'm aware of to offer a solution,” he said.
