Good News, Bad News, and More News, 5/5

I have good news, bad news and more news to share with you.

First, the bad news.

While going door to door on April 27, I tumbled down some concrete steps and broke a bone in my pelvis, requiring surgery and a week-plus hospital stay. I should be up on crutches and back in business by the end of this week.

The good news is, this injury makes me more determined than ever to win the 22nd Assembly seat in order to achieve the number one goal of many voters in our area: affordable and accessible healthcare for Wisconsin's families.

I know how fortunate I am to have healthcare coverage. For many families, an injury like this would not only be painful, but a financial burden as well. I will work to ensure that every family in Wisconsin is able to access affordable healthcare. Accidents are unpredictable, but healthcare shouldn't be.

In the more news category...if you haven't already made your reservation to the "100 People for Pasch" fundraising event, there's still time! Remember that special guest DA John Chisholm will be on hand. The event is this Tuesday, May 6th from 5:00-7:30pm at the DeLind Gallery in downtown Milwaukee (see more details under "Upcoming Events" below). I hope to be there, but if that's not possible, I have taped a video message for the event.

There's another terrific event coming up on Sunday, May 18 from 1:00-4:00pm: two of my fellow nurses are hosting a meet 'n greet at the home of Vivien De Back in Hales Corners. Special guest Senator Judy Robson will be there, and all are welcome to attend-again, please see details below!

As always...and especially now...thank you for your support!

Sandy Pasch
Candidate for 22nd Assembly

2,000 Doors-the Plan From Here

Sandy had already been to over 2000 homes in the district when she was injured.

While she's recovering, she'll have volunteers stay in contact with voters and will start calling voters herself when she's out of the hospital. If you can spare a few hours over the next several weeks to "do doors" or drop off literature, please contact Phyllis Blackburn at phyllis [at] sandypasch [dot] com. Thank you so much!

Sandy and the Secure Detention Facility

Milwaukee's Secure Detention Facility is a temporary home for people suspected of parole or probation violations. An estimated 30% of the men and 70% of the women housed at the facility are incarcerated for behaviors related to severe mental illness rather than criminal actions. Warden Jon Husz asked Sandy to be part of a liaison team between the facility and the community to help ensure these people get the treatment they need to become productive members of the community.
