David Clarenbach State Representative A record of achievement.. leadership for the future --- David Clarenbach State Representative David Clarenbach has proven himself to be an accomplished legislator and deserves your support. In 1972 when David Clarenbach became the youngest supervisor ever elected to the Dane County Board, much was predicted of his potential for leadership. Ten years later, after serving on both the County Board and the City Council and four terms in the State Assembly, those predictions have been realized. David Clarenbach has emerged not only as one of the legislature's most articulate advocates for progressive ideas, but also as an effective fighter who can get the job done. He has attracted national attention as our state representative, was selected one of the "Outstanding Young Men in America," and has been repeatedly honored by groups such as Wisconsin's Environmental Decade and Wisconsin Women's Political Caucus. "He stuck to his agenda and continued making progress. He learned how to overcome opposition to sensitive issues . . . he did his homework and learned how to fight silly arguments with facts." The Janesville Gazette During his eight years in the legislature, over 90 of the bills he has introduced and co-authored have become law. In the past session alone, he saw over twenty initiatives enacted—many of which are the innovative result of several years of diligent organizing and perseverance. David Clarenbach, without question, has become one of the state's leading proponents for civil liberties and human rights, backing up words with passage of milestone legislation that is attracting national recognition. Recently, he persuaded the legislature to look at new directions for Wisconsin's economic future designed to cure our economic ills rather than short term remedies at the expense of the poor and the elderly. He has been designated to head a special Legislative Council task force to chart a new course for our state's industrial development-new industry that will guarantee growth and jobs for Wisconsin in the years to come. In an unprecedented move by the Assembly, David Clarenbach and the Government Operations Committee which he chairs were given special authority to investigate the Dreyfus administration's record layoff of public employees and the impact of those layoffs on needed programs serving the people of the state. "Thanks to ... plucky state legislators, such as David Clarenbach for daring to propose pioneering legislation that is often impolitic but usually usefully provocative." The Milwaukee Journal David Clarenbach has won the respect and trust of his colleagues in the Assembly, for his ability as a leader and floormanager during debate. Other than the Speaker, no legislator has spent more time in the chair presiding over the Assembly. But even greater potential lies ahead. Our future depends on solving Wisconsin's problems today. David Clarenbach is working to solve those problems... experience says he will. "Congratulations on your far-sighted, committed and unselfish support of a bill that embodies the most creative consumer idea of the last generation." Ralph Nader --- David E.
