Racine Mayoral Forum VIII

What’s the best thing about Racine that not enough people know about?

Jody Harding.

We have some of the most beautiful homes in the Midwest. When we win the war against crime and bring jobs back to Racine, a little TLC will bring these faded old ladies back to their original splendor.

North Beach. Thousands of beach goers brave the MMSD-polluted beaches of Milwaukee every year, despite the fact they are just minutes away from the state’s cleanest beach. They can spend a day on the beach, relax at the Oasis, go shopping and dining downtown, and still go home with more in their wallets than they would doing all those things in Milwaukee. This is why taking major steps against crime is so important. Racine gets more attention in the media for our crime problem than for our beach. As Mayor, I will change that.


What’s your favorite flavor of kringle?

Anything with raspberry gets my vote!


100 words or less, why should Racine vote for you in the primary?


Jody Harding

There are two kinds of politicians running in this primary. The first believes that a handful of bureaucrats with a lot of rules and no workable ideas are in a better position to tell the rest of us how to run our lives and our businesses than we are ourselves.

The second believes in personal responsibility and the power of the community to solve our problems. This second kind believes the purpose of government is to support the citizens in their pursuit of happiness, not to rule them. I am the only candidate in this second group.

Greg Helding

I did not have an answer from Greg on this question.



I thank Pete Karas for getting me answers to the other questions he has been answering them as I published, if he gets me responses I will add them.
