Miwaukee,
We wanted to take a moment to show our strong support for State Representative Elizabeth Coggs in her campaign for state senate.
Throughout her tenure on the County Board and the Assembly, Elizabeth has been a consistent voice fighting for the needs of our Milwaukee community. She has always been a champion for the working families of our state and has focused on key issues such as women’s health, and providing each child an opportunity to succeed through a quality education.
Elizabeth Coggs has has always valued public service, she has the experience, and she will continue to be a leader in our community.
With only 1 week left until the primary election, we’re asking you to make a small contribution of $6, $16, or $60 to ensure that Elizabeth Coggs is the state senator from the 6th district for years to come.
She has always fought for you, now it’s time to stand up and make your voice heard for her! Thank you.
Sincerely,
Senator Lena C. Taylor and Senator Spencer Coggs
In 1978, while I was Holding a Public Hearing as Chairman of the senate committee on Governmental & Veteran Affairs at MPS Centrol Office, Elizabeth Coggs came up to the speakers podium uninvited, picked up the microphone began babbling aloud. The speakers system had to be shut off to restore order.
On July 28th of this year while I was moderating the Community Brainstorming Candidates Forum at St. Matthew CME, Elizabeth blabbled aloud from her seat while another candidate was speaking fromn the podium,CAUSING disruption of that Forum.
I am confident there is common census that this type of behavior is not a good fit for the African American “Community of Interest” in the Upper House of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Monoe I know you’re telling the truth, I heard she got into a cat fight with another candidate but who was it? Usually they air the Community Brainstorming but from what I have understood they refuse to air it because Coggs and Millie Coby don’t want it airing
Elizabeth Coggs exhibited the same type of disruptive behavior at the Community Brainstorming Candidates Forum July 28th that she demonstrated at a Senate Committee Public Hearing in 1977, thirty five (35) years ago. Thus, this Community has to decide whether such behavior is befitting the African American “Community of Interest” in the Upper House of the Wisconsin Legislature.
In 1977, Elizabeth disrupted a Public Hearing which I was Chairing. She came ukp to the speaker’s podium uninvited picked up the microphone and began blabbing. The PA system had to be disconnected to restore order.
On July 28th this year while I was moderating the Community Brainstorming candidates’Forum, Elizabeth began blabbing aloud from her seat while another candidate was speaking at the podium
While these two incidents were 35 year apart, the behavior was
essentially the same. Therefore, this Community ought to decide whether this type of behavior is befitting the African American “Community of Interest” within the Upper House of the Wisconsin Legislature.
