Greendale Man Plans to Run Against Lazich

Jim Ward, who is running for State Senator in the 28th District, announced that he has collected double the maximum number of signatures to get his name on the ballot in November, according to a press release.

He turned in his nomination papers to the Government Accountability Board on Thursday. Once the signatures are certified, his candidacy will be official. Ward will be running against incumbent District 28 State Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin). 

“I found that while going door to door many people were eager to sign my nomination papers,” Ward said in the release. “I also had great support of dozens of volunteers who collected signatures from neighbors, friends and family. I found that people on both sides of the political spectrum are upset with the current state of politics in Wisconsin.”

They are looking for someone who understands the problems that they are facing and want a return to politicians being able to work together to solve problems.  I’m just that person because I’m not a career politician.”

Ward graduated from Marquette University with a degree in History and Education.  He has been a teacher for 13 years, the past twelve years he has taught at Milwaukee Academy of Science, a charter school.  Jim and his wife Tricia are homeowners in Greendale.
