Cathy Myers is running as a Democrat for Wisconsin’s First Congressional district in 2018.
From candidate website:
I’m the daughter of a U.S. Army veteran and an Army Reserve nurse who started a small business running a truck stop, worked hard and later added a diner. They worked tirelessly to give our family of six a middle-class life. It was a team effort. They, with the help of their employees, built something pretty great, and they taught us kids the value of hard work, public service and taking responsibility for community and country.
My brothers, sister, and I have always lived those values in our own lives. Each of us started at the truckstop, picking up trash, waiting tables, washing dishes, painting, you name it. Mom and Dad always insisted that we start from the ground floor and work our way up. My siblings and I have worked hard to support our family to ensure everyone has a roof over their head and food on the table.
I’ve been a radio station news producer, a child care provider, a stay at home mom, and, for the last 23 years, a teacher.
