Jesse Kremer, Iraq war veteran and 59th Assembly Candidate, to host bicycle ride through all four counties of the district in an effort to raise money for the campaign and the Wisconsin Fisher House project.

Kewaskum, Wisconsin, May 15, 2014: Jesse Kremer is one of four candidates for the 59th Assembly District seat that is being vacated by Rep. Dan LeMahieu this fall. The theme of Kremer’s campaign is “Bold Ideas…Conservative Values”. In keeping with that theme, Kremer is sponsoring a unique campaign event on June 13-15. Fashioned after the Gov. Thompson and Gov. Walker Harley rides through the state, this event will be a bicycle ride through the entire 59th Assembly District with the theme “Ride the 59”.

Kremer has stated that he likes the event because it will allow him to make stops throughout the district and meet with constituents along the way in all four counties – Calumet, Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, and Washington. On Friday, June 13, the ride will kick off late morning at the South Town Family Restaurant in New Holstein. Stops on the 13th will include the Mount Calvary American Legion Memorial, the Wade House State Park historic site in Greenbush, and the Dundee Mill Pond Park behind the Hamburger Haus on Long Lake. Bikers will be able to camp on the other side of Long Lake on the 14th for some R & R if desired.  On the 15th, bicyclists will begin with a lunch at Scud’s Buds in Eden and follow that up with breaks at King Pin bowling in Campbellsport, Dairy Queen in Kewaskum, Aiden O’Reilly’s Pub in Allenton, and will conclude just south of City Hall on Main Street in Hartford.

Bikers are not required to take pledges for this fundraiser ride, however, if they do decide to solicit donations, Kremer, an Iraq war and Wisconsin National Guard veteran, has vowed to contribute half of all earnings to a local military veteran organization. This year’s donations will be given to the Fisher House in Milwaukee – a facility for military veterans and their families receiving treatment at the Milwaukee VA.

Good evening,

I would like to personally thank all of my family, friends, and supporters for making Family Comedy Night a real success.  Our goal was to get the word out about us and our family values and allow us to do something positive for our community and our neighbors.  We succeeded.  The Fish Sticks was an outstanding kid friendly comedy improv group.  With the degradation of morals and values in today’s society, it is extremely difficult to provide wholesome entertainment for our children.

If elected, I intend to continue to promote wholesome, family friendly events throughout our communities.  Although this is not a platform that will win votes, and it did cost a good deal of advertising dollars to get the word out, it is something that I personally believe will help our society as a whole.  Once again, thank you!

Respectfully,
Jesse Kremer
59th Assembly Candidate

Tim Schmidt, President and CEO of Delta Defense and  founder of the US Concealed Carry Association, has endorsed Iraqi Freedom  veteran Jesse Kremer for the 59th Assembly District seat being vacated by Rep. Dan LeMahieu.

Kewaskum, Wisconsin, April 25, 2014: Jesse Kremer, candidate for the 59th Assembly seat, a district that stretches from Hartford to New Holstein, has received the full endorsement of Tim Schmidt, President and CEO of Delta Defense LLC and founder of the US Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). Mr. Schmidt began the company in 2003 as a magazine subscription service, is now the largest concealed carry organization in America, and is a rapidly growing Wisconsin employer.

Tim Schmidt has issued the following statement regarding Kremer, “I support Jesse and his desire to protect and preserve all of our constitutionally guaranteed liberties, including our 2nd Amendment rights.  Jesse understands the meaning of freedom and what true service is.  A month before September 11, Jesse was promoted to the position of captain at an airline in Milwaukee.  Three weeks after the attacks on our nation, he began a family when he married his wife Janet.  In light of these life changing events, Jesse felt compelled to defend his family, his country, and his occupation by joining the Wisconsin National Guard.  Jesse deployed oversees to serve with the first wave of soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom.  In my honest opinion, I believe that Jesse has been trained and raised with a strong sense of integrity and is a highly ethical individual.  If given the opportunity, Jesse will be a strong conservative legislator and a voice of reason for the people of the 59th Assembly District.”

Jesse Kremer of Kewaskum, who declared his candidacy for outgoing Rep. Dan LeMahieu’s seat in late February, is holding his first fundraiser on May 9, 6:30 PM at the Columbian (formerly KC Hall) – 3245 Lighthouse Lane between West Bend and Kewaskum.

Kewaskum, Wisconsin, April 10, 2014:  Iraq war veteran Jesse Kremer, conservative Republican candidate for the 59th Assembly District, and his family would like to invite the community to a squeaky clean Comedy Sportz event at the Columbian (formerly KC Hall), 3245 Lighthouse Lane, just west of Moraine Park Technical College in West Bend.  The Kremer family – Jesse, Janet, Keturah, Miriam, and Michaiah, will be in attendance to introduce the “Fish Sticks”.  They will also be available for a meet and greet following the event.  The show will begin promptly at 6:30 PM on Friday, May 9.  There will be a fund raising raffle after the show for a 30 minute, three person airplane ride with former airline captain and current charter pilot Jesse Kremer.

If you have never heard of the “Fish Sticks”, they are one of the country’s best, family friendly improv comedy groups. Keeping it fresh and making it fun is one of their calling cards, in addition to their ability to work with audiences of all ages. Performing coast-to-coast, they’re known for their hilarious, made up-on-the-spot humor that provides continuous knee-slappin’ fun.  You can view more information on them at their website www.fishstickscomedy.com.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children, age two and under are free.  Tickets can be purchased at www.familynightout.org or by calling 262-297-9572.  Candy, drinks, and popcorn will be sold at the event.

Janet and I had the opportunity to meet Governor Walker this afternoon. The Governor was the guest speaker at the Lincoln/Reagan dinner for the Republican Party of Sheboygan County. The event was held at the Bull at Pinehurst Farms in Sheboygan Falls.

We were also able to finally introduce ourselves in-person to fellow candidate Ralph Prescott from the Calumet County area.

Tomorrow, March 17, we will begin canvassing the northern communities of the 59th Assembly District.

Those looking for some positive news in the midst of the revelation that the U.S. unemployment rate rose slightly last month need not look much further than Wisconsin, apparently.

While the unemployment rate rose from 6.6% to 6.7%, a survey released by Manpower Group offers a silver lining. Manpower surveyed approximately 18,000 employers in the 100 largest US metropolitan areas, and found that employers across the board plan to increase their payrolls in the second quarter. Manpower followed up the survey with a list of the 15 best cities for job seekers to find employment this upcoming quarter, and Wisconsin made some surprise appearances.

Milwaukee, West Allis, Waukesha, and Madison all appeared in the list, with reported net percentage of employers looking to hire at 20-22%.

Jorge Perez, the senior vice president of Manpower, says the numbers and the survey exemplifies “positive” results.

“This survey is telling a positive story when it comes to hiring,” Perez says. “Employers are telling us they plan to hire, and the predicted pace of hiring has been the same for the last nine months. The fact that employers are holding steady at a modest hiring pace means they are focused on agility. Adding staff at a slow but steady pace gives them the room they need to adapt along the way.”

Positive news for Wisconsinites, indeed!

Kewaskum resident Jesse Kremer launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for the 59th Assembly District in an unusual way Wednesday — with a statement read in his absence.

Paula Becker, vice president of the Common Sense Citizens of Washington County, read the statement written by Kremer after a candidate forum that featured three of the four people running for the West Bend School Board.

In Kremer’s statement, he apologized for being unable to launch his campaign in person because of a job commitment.

Kremer, 37, a graduate of Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School, said he “never had political aspirations until it became quite clear that liberty and freedom were rapidly eroding in our country. Our country is very near the point of no return. Many of our government bodies are no longer for the people — they are over the people.”

He pledged that, if elected, he would “not spend a penny of your hard-earned money if it is not an absolute necessity. If we, the people, need to live within our means, then so do our elected officials.”

“Gov. (Scott) Walker and the state Legislature have gotten the jobs ball rolling, we must embrace this momentum wholeheartedly by sending solid, energetic, pro-job conservatives to Madison,” Kremer’s statement read. Kremer, a professional pilot, served in Iraq and is a volunteer firefighter and EMT with the Kewaskum Fire Department.

Kremer has also launched a website, www. jesseforwisconsin.com.

Kremer joins Hartford resident Bill Savage, Calumet County Supervisor Ralph Prescott and Mark Brunner of the town of Wayne in seeking the Republican nomination for the 59th Assembly seat held by retiring state Rep. Dan LeMahieu, R-Cascade. The 59th Assembly District includes the towns of Addison and Wayne, the town and village of Kewaskum, most of the town of Barton, and most of the town and city of Hartford, as well as areas of Sheboygan and Fond du Lac counties.

The Republican primary election will be Aug. 12.
