District 1 Chisago County Commissioner Lora Walker is running for re-election to the county board. Her campaign website www.lorawalker.com touts many honors and achievements, but visibly missing are any accomplishments or actions to bring women’s issues to the forefront.
Commissioner Lora Walker was recently contacted by the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization which encourages informed and active participation in government. Walker was asked to provide candidate information for publishing in a 2012 on-line voter’s guide, which she apparently chose to disregard. The League of Women Voters website, www.vote411.org, shamefully documents “candidate has not responded” for all questions posed to Commissioner Lora Walker.
A Walker campaign billboard placed along Interstate Highway 35 was installed with white paint covering what appears to be the name “Lora” in the upper right corner.
Is Lora Walker concerned that a woman’s name would trigger negative reactions from the general public?
Is there no place for women’s advocacy in the Good Ole Boys Club of Chisago County Commissioners?

Well, if you haven't gotten the response you deserve, make a change in November and get someone that will. We need someone that shows their independence, a person that has the courage to make up their own mind and not be a follower of others. We need someone that shows an interest in their district, which attends township meetings and listen to their needs. This is a job for someone that not only has the time to do it, but one that wants to work for the people in their district. Go Darrel !
