It may come as no surprise to you that Russ' opponents have already begun to attack him, attempting to do whatever they can to distort his record.

This is just the beginning, and it's clear that they'll say anything to get elected.

But, our opponents haven't learned the lesson–Wisconsinites are fed up with negative politics.

Russ has never been a politics-as-usual kind of guy and has always run a clean campaign, a campaign based on the important issues that affect our state–issues like jobs, health care, and education.

And, we're confident that people will see our opponents' statements for what they truly are, baseless and vicious attacks. In fact, we're so confident that we're reprinting them on our very own website.
