Mark Green is Latinos’ Choice for Governor of Wisconsin

FOND DU LAC – As a son of immigrants, Mark Green recognizes that education and jobs are the promises of opportunities for Latinos. Mark Green is committed to breaking down the barriers to student achievement and academic excellence to ensure that our Latino youth have the necessary educational skills to achieve their dreams and move Latino families forward.

Mark Green also recognizes that good jobs are leaving the state, and that wages are hostage to the increasing tax and college bills burgeoning Latino families. Mark Green is committed to removing those barriers that stand in the way of job growth and will aggressively recruit new businesses and jobs that will offer opportunities to Latinos.

Governor Jim Doyle has failed the Latino community. Our Latino youth are increasingly failing to graduate from high school. Those that do graduate are finding that Jim Doyle and his Board of Regents have priced Latinos out of a college education. An April 2006 report by the Manhattan Institute shows that Wisconsin had the worst graduation rate gap between Latinos and whites (54 percent vs. 92 percent).

Over the last four years, incumbent Governor Jim Doyle has increased tuition for Wisconsin’s Latino students and their families by more than 50 percent.

The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education (Measuring Up, 2002, 2004 and 2006) gives Wisconsin an ‘F’ in college affordability. The National Center reports show that during Jim Doyle’s term, the percentage of income needed to pay for college expenses has increased on average from 18 percent in 2002 to 26 percent in 2006. The percentage of income needed to pay for college for families in Wisconsin making under $32,000 now stands at 29 percent, whereas college
expenses consume 59 percent of income of families making less than $15,000 a year.

Higher paying skill trades also elude Latinos. A January 2006 Report Card on Minority Participation in Construction Trade Apprentices in the Milwaukee Area shows that area companies are preparing 14 whites apprentices for every 1 Latino apprentice entering the skilled trades.

Latinos employed in Jim Doyle’s administration do not fare well. In terms of a June 2005 average annual salary for all permanent classified state employees, even Jim Doyle’s own administration ranks Latinos near the bottom-18th place out of 24.

Latinas in Jim Doyle’s administration occupy the very bottom of the average annual salary-24th place out of 24. Governor Jim Doyle’s record on issues important to the Latino community is dismal. If Latinos do not do well in Jim Doyle’s own administration, can we expect any better throughout the state? Does Jim Doyle have any respect for the Latino community? Are Latinos truly welcome? Is takes more than a campaign ad in Spanish to address the needs of Latino families.

It takes commitment. Mark Green’s commitment to education and jobs holds the promise of opportunities for Latinos and for creating an educated and skilled workforce to move Wisconsin forward.

The mission of the RNHA is to build a membership organization to foster the principles of the Republican Party in the Latino community; to provide Latino Americans with a forum to play an influential role in local, state, and national Party activities; to increase the number of Latino Republican elected officials; and to create and maintain a network of Latino Republican leaders.

The Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Wisconsin awaits its state charter.
