Two Green Party Candidates Share April Ballot In Oshkosh
In Oshkosh, former Wisconsin Green Party co-chair Bob Poeschl is campaigning hard for a seat on the Oshkosh Common Council. Six candidates are running for three seats in this at-large campaign and the top three vote getters will win on April 7. Bob came in third place out of 7 in the February primary so he is now working to take advantage of that in these final weeks:
As you might know I took a solid 3rd place in the February 17th primary. Though this is a great showing, it still does not leave me in an easy position to win this April. April elections are filled with special interests and endorsements like the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce, The Realtors Association and the Oshkosh Northwestern. Also this election has a very heated school referendum on the ballot, which adds greatly to the mix of things. So this leads me to express my need to raise *$500 in 5 days* … I would like to add newspaper (500) and radio advertising because it allows my message to be out in the public through different means.
I am running a very grassroots campaign, knocking on doors, networking at community events and service organizations and have been dropping literature in neighborhoods every weekend (with some help) since the primary…there are several ways that you can support my campaign for Oshkosh Common Council. *First, Spread the Word! Second, Help out on lit drops that take place every Saturday and Sunday until the election! Third, Donate to the campaign!

Bob Poeschl isn’t the only Green on the ballot in Oshkosh – incumbent Council member Tony Palmeri is running for re-election. In the February primary Tony came in first place, but as Bob noted above there are constantly changing dynamics and a contentious school referendum on the ballot and it is hard to predict how people will vote. Two years ago as a challenger Palmeri finished second in a field of six. Palmeri has made a lot more friends and a lot more enemies since being elected to the Common Council, and he is considered the front runner on April 7.
April local elections in Wisconsin are non-partisan.
