From a Capital Times interview with Assembly candidate Peng Her:
What most frustrated you about the Legislature in the last session?
I was most frustrated by the games played by Assembly Republicans. From the stalled budget process to the failure to move forward a serious comprehensive health care plan, Assembly Republicans treated the last Legislative session as a political game rather than do the business of the people. But nothing typifies the games played by Assembly Republicans more than Rep. Steve Nass and Sen. Glenn Grothman’s baseless yet relentless attacks on the University of Wisconsin System. Instead of working on ways to improve education for Wisconsin, they are more interested in punishing the UW, including de-funding the UW Law School.
I am not afraid to fight for the needs of the people and stand up against the likes of Rep. Nass and Sen. Grothman. I will bring real change to the Legislation. We need a people’s champion more now than ever otherwise it will be business as usual.

It’s a shame that Her also stated that “Health care should not be about economics. It is the right of every Wisconsin citizen to have health care.” Seems like as much of a pandering statement as those made by Nass or Grothman
