Congratulations to Campaign for Liberty member Romaine Quinn for winning his neighborhood for Liberty!
As they say, all politics is local. This gentleman has taken these words literally and has decided to take back his own backyard by first serving on his city council, then walking door to door to get elected as mayor.
He took a stand on an issue that was of deep concern to his neighbors and they, in turn, elected him to represent them.
This is a great example of “Winning Your Neighborhood for Liberty” as reflected in our Local Coordinator program. Quinn beat the incumbent mayor with 53 percent of the vote!
Rice Lake Voters Elect 19-Year-Old Mayor
A young man wearing a Hollister T-shirt, shorts and sandals picked up election signs Wednesday in Rice Lake, Wis. The 19-year-old wasn’t a campaign volunteer. Romaine Quinn is the new mayor.
Quinn, who served one year on the Rice Lake City Council before being elected mayor on Tuesday, said, “Age, I don’t think, necessarily makes a difference, I mean, it’s about the issues.”
Judging by the talk at Maxine’s restaurant, he might be right.
“Apparently, a lot of people wanted change,” said 78-year-old Del Hanson, who voted for Quinn.
