Pedro Colon

The people have spoken. And the people turned away the division, the hate, and the disregard for working families that have plagued us under Republican rule.

Huge voter participation swept away Republican control of the Wisconsin State Assembly and the American Presidency, returning control of our government to the people.

Pedro was an early ally of Barack Obama's and as Pedro has spoken with allies around the state; we have heard the voice of the American people.

Pedro was unopposed in the general election and received 98 percent of the vote.

The people have spoken and they want representation, not rule.

No candidate has ever inspired people like Barack Obama has.

Today, we all stand together, looking to the future to solve our problems in a common effort.

As President-elect Obama spoke last night:

“It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. … This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.”
