Republican Party Press Release against Hintz (54)

(Madison, WI)…Democrat Gordon Hintz can run, but he can’t hide from his extremism. Hintz, is running for the 54th Assembly District and running from his own extreme positions. On his campaign website, Hintz once bragged about his extreme anti-jobs position. But after a state business group exposed Hintz’s extreme stance, Hintz removed his position from his campaign website. The Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Rick Wiley, says Hintz can’t hide from his views.


“Gordon Hintz has been exposed for being an anti-job extremist,” Wiley said, “Now he’s trying to hide from the truth. Gordon Hintz is proving he can’t be trusted to represent the people of the 54th Assembly District.” Hintz on his website stated he was against the bi-partisan Job Creation Act, even though 80 of 99 members of the State Assembly – including 24 of the 39 Democrats, supported it. According to a cached version of Hintz’s campaign website, Hintz: “Supports protecting the Stewardship fund and preserving farmland. Opposes the so-called “Job Creation Act” and hidden efforts to loosen regulation standards in (sic) supported by polluters and believes that improving the environment and economic development are compatible.” The old site can be found ( HERE ).

However as soon as he began taking heat for his extreme anti-job agenda, Hintz removed the rhetoric. The Jobs Creation Act is modeled after reforms that took place in Minnesota. The Act contains sweeping reforms of bureaucratic procedures without weakening environmental standards. The permitting process will be more timely and predictable. Wiley says Hintz is too extreme for Oshkosh. “Just last week, Menards announced they would be expanding outside of Wisconsin because of too much bureaucratic red tape,” Wiley said, “Gordon Hintz wants to put even more burdens on businesses. How many more jobs can Wisconsin afford to lose if Gordon Hintz gets his way?”
