Campaign themes
2012
In a biographical submission to Ballotpedia, Heimermann described his political philosophy:
| “ | I’m running for the State Assembly because I think the 26th Assembly District would benefit from having a representative whose priorities are day-in and day-out: jobs, the economy, and standing up for working and middle-class families.
When Republican Governor Scott Walker attacked workers and their rights, I proudly marched shoulder-to-shoulder with hardworking police officers, firefighters, teachers, snowplow drivers and other public workers. That’s why I am running as a Democrat to fight for the middle class who need a voice in the State Capitol. You can count on me to be a tireless leader to fight for jobs and stand up for middle class families, workers and small businesses. I know families are struggling to be heard, because there is an enormous disconnect between Wisconsinites and politicians in Madison.[3] |
