I have watched Jennifer Moeller in the courtroom and find her approach to justice and the law to be very black and white. The reason we elect people to the bench is because humans possess compassion and can see shades of gray. We need Brett Reetz on the bench. His experience, common sense and compassion […]

Northeast Wisconsin’s economy is predominantly based in three areas: agriculture, tourism, and construction – and none of these sectors can survive without immigrant labor. A recent social media post bemoaned someone’s successful career as a fruit picker, until immigrants moved in. It’s a sentiment most of us here from Cherryland can identify with. All the […]

Remove money and religion from politics. End gerrymandering. Enact term limits. Get rid of the electoral college. This is how we fix it. One person, one vote. Kevin P. Lind Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Jeanne Vogel is running for re-election as a Supervisor for the Town of Sevastopol. I recommend you vote for her. She cares about her community. She does her homework. She has ably initiated the effort to bring high-quality, high-speed, affordable internet services to all the citizens and businesses in the Town of Sevastopol. Re-electing Jeanne […]

As we continue to watch the dysfunction of our so-called leaders in Congress it is nothing short of shameful. We have watched a handful of Republicans and the Speaker of the House look and act like hypocrites.  First, they will not do anything unless we do something about the border crisis. OK – done. A […]

Just wondering! Has our Congress, in  particular, the House of Representative, lost its moral compass? Americans do not let their allies and friends down, especially in a situation where they are fighting for their survival from an unprovoked attack on their country. Ukraine to be exact; by the aggressor, Russia.   Russia has never been […]

When I found my Jennifer Moeller for Circuit Court Judge sign pulled out of the ground, I felt personally violated. Someone had purposely invaded my space, vandalized my property and taken away my right to express an opinion. It made me feel unsafe and a bit fearful that s/he would come up the driveway and […]

Overseas Americans – estimated at 6.5 million eligible voters – won the right to cast their ballots from abroad in 1975, when the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) was signed into law. UOCAVA voters include US military and civilian citizens aged 18 or older by election day. In many states, this also […]

Really, all Americans are pro-life. We value life. Every morning we wake up ready to live another day. So saying one is “pro-life” should not be controversial.  But one of our political parties misuses that term. They vote against a living wage for working families, against family-planning funding, against a $35 insulin-cost cap, against paid […]

Our Democracy – or more correctly, Republic – in which we currently reside is not inherently flawed. Rather it’s become a victim of its success. America has risen to be the most powerful republic globally, largely due to the creation of a robust economic system. This outcome would likely have surprised even Adam Smith, the […]

I have known Jennifer for over 30 years. She is a compassionate, intelligent and caring person. Her connections in Door County go back to her childhood home in Egg Harbor.  She is beyond qualified for this position with a long history of working in all aspects of the legal world. Her first positions in Milwaukee […]

A hearty thank you is extended to the County of Door Highway Department and staff for an outstanding job they accomplished during this winter of little snow. I speak of the rediscovery through brushing and roadside trimming in the right of way that again exposed the historic roadside stone fences. So few of them remain. […]

Recently, the Town of Gardner proposed an approximate $1.5-million loan for fiber optic infrastructure for high speed internet, to be managed by a company like Brightspeed (a subsidiary of CenturyTel) for a proposed, base customer charge of roughly $60 per month [“Town Asking Voters to Weigh In on Broadband Funding,” Jan. 12 Peninsula Pulse]. That’s […]

I’m having all sorts of thoughts right now, including some Joni Mitchell lyrics – “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got til it’s gone” – after reading “Two New Drive-Thru Restaurants, Strip Mall Proposed” for Sturgeon Bay in the March 1 Peninsula Pulse. One of the many things Door […]

I am writing to express support for the great work done by the Door County Land Trust. I fully support the Land Trust’s recent purchase of property in the Town of Clay Banks. I also fully support the Land Trust’s application to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund for funding assistance for the Bear Creek Nature Preserve.  […]

I recently had the opportunity to meet Jennifer Moeller who is running for Door County Circuit Court Judge. Her legal background and experience are impressive. Just to list a few: she has practiced 12 years as attorney and partner at Brooks and Moeller law firm; has been a member of the Door County Bar Association […]

I support Jennifer Moeller for Door County Circuit Court judge. I have known Jennifer since we served on the Sturgeon Bay City Council together 24 years ago. During that service together and with the city dealing with many complicated and divisive issues, I found Jennifer to be a constant source of wisdom and reason and […]
