STEVENS POINT — Gubernatorial candidate Mike McCabe is visiting Stevens Point to host a “Meet and Greet” on Wednesday, July 18, from 6pm – 8pm at Kristin’s Riverwalk Food & Spirits (1140 Clark St, Stevens Point).

This will be a chance for folks to meet and talk with Mike.  The event is free and open to the public and media.

McCabe’s Principle Over Party campaign has been barnstorming the state with a message about getting government working for all of us and not just a few, a living wage for every worker, health care for all, debt-free education and job training, and high-speed Internet to every doorstep.

For 15 years, McCabe led the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a nonpartisan watchdog group that tracks the money in elections, exposes corruption and works to make people matter more than money in politics.  He went on to start up the grassroots group Blue Jean Nation, which works to empower regular people to challenge the political establishment.

Mike has fought the influence of big money in politics for most of his adult life and has said for years that massive donations amount to legal bribes.  He cannot in good conscience accept those kinds of contributions now that he is running, so he will not accept any single donation of more than $200 and no more than $1,000 in total from any individual or organization.  Mike does not belong to any political party, and has entered the August 14th Democratic primary.  The campaign’s website is GovernorBlueJeans.com.”
