It’s official!

Tanya Lohr, chair of the Democratic Party of Washington County, is running for Wisconsin State Senate for District 20 against Glenn Grothman.

Biography: Lohr has been a teacher for 16 years, spending the past 13 years teaching global studies at West Bend West High School. She is currently Chair of the Democratic Party of Washington County and a recent graduate of Emerge, a leadership training program for Democratic women interested in running for public office. She is married to fellow teacher, Andy Kougl. Their family includes their six year old twins and Kougl’s two teenage daughters.

“I want to restore adequate funding for public education, respect for women, affordable family health care and strengthen our communities by empowering working people,” Lohr said.

Fundraising Action Team

Every Little Penny Counts

We have a fantastic action team dedicated to keeping our office running, but what we’d really like to do is find a few people that are talented in planning larger events to raise funds from not only Washington County but also our neighbors. Whether it’s recycling cans, spaghetti dinners, or concerts, no idea is too small. There are lots of hands to help and other action teams to help spread the word. Believe me when I tell you that you would not be doing this alone. We have some great volunteers. What we really need is someone with some great ideas and initiative.

Please touch base with Tanya Lohr at telohr@charter.net or 414-467-8469 with questions or interest
