Representative Jerry O’Connor has supported bills to provide additional funding for public safety, modernize our 911 centers, and fund the state Office of School Safety. He also chaired the Speaker’s Task Force on Human Trafficking to develop strategies and help combat those crimes. As a State Assembly Representative, Jerry O’Connor has prioritized public safety, and I ask you to join me in supporting his reelection! — Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt

Jerry has been a solid community voice for many years and has nobly served many conservative causes.

I have known Jerry for a few years. I met Jerry in a trying and difficult time in my life. Jerry and his wife Luane opened their home to me and allowed me to live with them. I found out many things about Jerry that really spoke to his character. One being that Jerry had done religion classes for over 20 years to prisoners who were incarcerated. Jerry has reintroduced me to my faith and made a huge difference in my life. Jerry and I have had many deep discussions on many different topics, and it would be fair for me to say that I would trust Jerry's judgement no matter what the topic. He is well educated and is able to look at situations with empathy and common sense. I consider Jerry like a brother to me and I would trust him with my life.

He had 17 bills as an author or co-author signed into law in his first two years as our Representative for the 52nd District. Jerry will work very hard for the new 60th to make positive changes for the state of Wisconsin. It is with great enthusiasm that I give my endorsement for Rep. Jerry O'Connor for the 60th District!
