Congratulations Rep. Mike Sheridan!!

Janesville's own Mike Sheridan, a former UAW union president, was chosen for the Assembly speakership. I've always felt Sheridan had all the right tools and work ethics necessary to fight for and speak on behalf of real priorities for the State of Wisconsin.

After he was first elected to Wisconsin legislative office, I was one of few who spoke out against his continued employment with corporate GM as a conflict of interest to serve the greater good. I was happy to see that when it came time to make a decision of either/or, he chose public service.

He's one of those kind'a guys who exemplifies "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" slogan and doesn't back down from anybody when advancing democratic ideals and candidates on the local front. Yet, he has the common sense to extend his hand across the aisle to get something done. He's just what south-central Wisconsin needs in Madison during these extremely challenging times. Good going!

I would like to see some results before I sing his praises. I think he has done nothing to help Janesville. As far as the UAW Position goes. He got out while the getting was good

Maybe so. But I think the important thing to recognize is that he is willing to take on a leadership position during a time of major crisis when others are content only making the motions to survive to the next election.
