August 31, 2010 Each year, the last weekend of August, Tigerton in Shawano County comes alive with family activities in what the the town calls its "Lumberjack Days." This is a 43 year old tradition. Pam was able to get to the parade on August 30.
|
The Advancement Association and American Legion Post host a family weekend that features a lumberjack contest, cow chip bingo and many kids' games hosted by area non-profit groups like girl scouts, boy scouts and youth sports clubs. Music and a free corn roast highlight Saturday evening. Local church groups provide food and homemade pies. Sunday features a large parade and more live music. Bingo is play and a raffle is held with the top prize of $1,000. Plenty of cold beer and soda are always available. All funds raised go towards Tigerton area projects.

August 16, 2010 Mosinee held its Little Bull Falls Logjam August 13-15, 2010. This is a terrific event. The town held an All American Lumberjack show all three days, and hosted musical entertainment, Woodsman 5 k Walk /Run/ cane pole fishing contest, horseshoe tournament, Hands on American Cricket, Cemetery Walk, Rendezvous& Civil War encampments, River Race, Quilters, Crafters, Artisans and Demonstrators. Lumberjack displays, Native American Displays, Historical Museum, and a Children's Area.
|
The town had to cancel its annual July 4 parade because of bad weather, so held its parade on the last day of the Logjam, August 15. Pam was there with a great team of volunteers.

August 16, 2010 The Rusk County Fair was held in Ladysmith from August 11-16, 2010. Pam attended on August 13 as did several other Republican candidates. Rusk County, once a major center for the logging industry, has worked hard to transition to farming and is now seeking to bring in other industries. Pam has spent a great deal of time in Rusk County, at formal events, and walking door-to-door. The county at present suffers from a very high unemployment rate and she has been learning as much as she can from the residents about how best to fix that.

The Republican Party of Rusk County had a booth at the fair.
Pam is standing with Sean Duffy (R), a Republican candidate for the 7th Congressional District, and a Duffy supporter (C). |

August 12, 2010 Rib Falls rightly brags, "Where the Ice Age ends, and your adventure begins." Rib Lake held its annual Ice Age Days Parade from August 6-8, 2010 in the town up in Taylor County. Pam attended on August 8. As you will see, Pam did what she loves the most about her campaign, out with the people.
Peter (R) and Mary (C) Gunther, two long-time avid supporters of Pam and her campaign provided the car for the float and were there, as they always are, by Pam's side to help.

August 12, 2010 Wausau is the site of the annual Wisconsin Valley Fair, one of the oldest and largest agricultural fairs in Wisconsin. The fair is typically held in early August at Marathon Park, an eighty acre site that features exhibition buildings, a judging pavilion and a partially sheltered grandstand. Pam attended on August 4.
Lori (C) and Dave (R) Torrko, two avid Galloway supporters, were at the Fair and talked to the people about the campaign and Pam's views.
That's Chuck Eno, Republican candidate for the 85th District State Assembly in the center, and it seems a serious discussion is underway, Pam on the right taking it all in. |
Pam and Jimmy Boy might be competing for the Republican nomination, but they are the best of friends.
The Republican Party of Marathon County (RPMC) had a well decorated and attended booth at the fair. Here Lori and Dave Torrko (R) are again chatting with visitors. |

Nick Perrine was out "walking the concrete" campaigning for Pam Galloway recently, gathering nomination signatures and meeting and greeting the people. Overall Pam had more nomination signatures than she needed and easily met the requirements of the election board to be on the ballot for state senator, 29th Wisconsin District. |

Lublin Days take place on the last weekend of July, this year, July 25. There was something for everyone including: Lublin Days Parade, softball and volleyball tournaments, truck and tractor pulls, and the charcoal chicken dinner sponsored by the Lublin American Legion Post.
|
The Lublin community was named after a city in Poland. It is surrounded by small family dairy, crop, beef and bison farming. It's population numbers 108, and it seemed they were all at the Lublin Days! You'll note there is a plaque on the park building which says, "John Kijak Memorial." Mr. Kijak was a businessman in town who donated a considerable amount of money and energy to building this marvelous village park. He asked that a memorial be placed at the park. Mr. Kijak died several years ago after living a long anf full life. |

The 70th annual Northland Mardi Gras in Ladysmith, Rusk County, began on July 15 and ran through July 18, 2010. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the entrance to Memorial Park in Ladysmith and Christman Amusements opened thereafter, providing Midway entertainment as it has for more than 35 years. Additional highlights included the Venetian Night Parades and the Street Parade, as well as many sports events and musical entertainment. There was a car show, waterski show, new improved beer garden and a downtown Arts and Crafts Show. “The Ladysmith Story,” an opera honoring the community, was held on July 16, and July 18, in the Ladysmith High School auditorium. John Terrill and Karen Ek were the co-grand marshals of the Northland Mardi Gras this year, and Doris Rogers and Murray Kuhns were the honorary grand marshal. This year’s Mardi Gras offered a feast of choices to tempt your taste buds, provided by several community groups and many vendors that travel with Christman Amusements. What marvelous people, typical of wherever Pam goes in the district and the state. These people know what they want, and they know they are not getting it from Senator Decker. |
||||||||
July 12, 2010 There was a great turnout on July 12, 2010 at the Republican Party of Taylor County Candidate meet and greet.
|
The community was very interested in what Pam and the other candidates had to say. Thanks to Mary Williams and the RPTC for sponsoring this event! |

Phillips held an Antique & Tractor Expo on July 10, 2010. Antique machinery, tractors, and household items were on display. There were demonstrations of old time crafts and displays of other crafts. Even an old bottle specialist with his collection of bottles from 1600s thru 1800s was there. People brought in their old bottles for him to relate the story of the bottle. There was also food, beverages, and live music. Pam was there enjoying the Expo and talking with the people.

Pam Galloway attended the Rusk County conservative rally at the Memorial Park in Ladysmith on June 17, 2010. It was a chance for voters to meet multiple candidates for local, state and federal offices. It was sponsored by the Rusk County GOP. Some 110 people attended, setting a record.
Rusk County GOP Chairman Travis Ewer, show with the mike, fired up the crowd by promoting conservative candidates for the November election. Referring to out-of-control government spending, bail-outs, unacceptable unemployment numbers and rising debt, he said, "It's irresponsible and its time to stop it!" The photo to the bottom right gives you another look at the crowd. It's marvelous that parents bring their children to events like this. That's the generation coming up the ranks. It's important that they observe first hand what a political event is like and that they learn first-hand what candidates are like, in the flesh. Finally, its great for kids to learn about their civic duties in a democracy. |
Pam speaks to the crowd

June 14, 2010 Pam Galloway's seeming boundless passion to meet the voters continued over the past days as she visited several communities in Marathon, Price, Rusk and Taylor Counties, up north, locations many in Madison know precious little about.
Yes, it is a requirement for Pam to collect nomination signatures. She needs a minimum of 400, but will shoot for more. But Pam makes getting these signatures fun and informative. Asking people for theirs is yet another way to kick off a dialog with the voters, and a chance to listen and hear what's on their minds. Here you see Pam getting some signatures following the recent Rusk County Dairy Breakfast.
While traveling through Rusk County, Pam stopped off at the Rusk County Historical Museum in Ladysmith and signed the register.
Pam was interviewed by Pat Snyder and Tom King on 550 AM WSAU Radio on June 11, 2010. You may listen to that interview by clicking on the start button below.
In the 2000 census, the Village of Kennan in Price County had 171 residents. You'd never know it by this sign welcoming you to the village. As one tours these rural areas of the 29th Senate District, one finds that unemployment is by far the huge problem. Take Chelsea in Taylor County for example. Homes have depreciated by 3.6 percent and the unemployment rate has been up near the 14 percent range. But another point should be made. These towns and villages that dot our district and state are very important to the state and the country. We should worry about them more than perhaps we do. here was a time when each of these locations played a vital role in our history, and we ought to work harder to preserve them. Mary Jane Hettinga was the executive director of the Marathon County Historical Society and her words strike a chord when thinking about these rural areas:

Pam is collecting signatures before the Wausau Woodchucks baseball game. The following photos show Pam standing proudly with town and village signs, demonstrating her zeal to hit as many places in the district as she physically can.
Brantwood is located on Hwy 8 in Price County, population in the 200 census 575.
Phillips is on State Hwy 13 and serves as the county seat for Price County.
Hawkins, in Rusk County, may have only 317 residents, but it's one proud village that boasts being the "gateway to the Flambeau River State Forest...centered in one of the most scenic areas" of the state.
In the 2000 census, Chelsea in Taylor County was listed with 719 residents, but had grown to 735 by 2009.
Gilman is located in west central Taylor County. |

The Galloway for State Senate Campaign Team attended the 41st Annual Galloway Days on June 6, 2010. The events ran from June 4-6, starting with a softball tourney and finishing with a parade and music by the Boys from Polonia. Pam's team sported a float in the parade and Pam spent most of her time meeting the people along the parade route.
One of the most striking features of these photos of Pam visiting with the people of Galloway is how friendly, courteous, and happy they are to meet a state senate candidate visit with them. It helped that her name was Galloway, of course! A great way to break the ice. Underscoring this observation is the knowledge that Wisconsin in general, and the 29th State Senate District in particular, are blessed with marvelous people. Meeting, talking with and listening to them is the highlight of Pam's campaign for her. The people keep you grounded.
|
The theme of the parade in Galloway was farming. Tractors and mammoth pieces of farm equipment were on display. Pam's vehicle was decorated with Galloway for state senate signs, garlands and red white and blue flowers. Her volunteers handed out candy and Packer/Badger schedules and Pam ran in front to greet the crowd. Prior to the parade people in the crowd that she talked to were looking for a new face in politics.

Wisconsin's greatness as a dairy state was on full display today at the Edgar Dairy Breakfast. Not only was there great food but also a petting zoo, photo ops with animals, a tractor pull, educational tent and more. My volunteers helped serve food and I helped carry milk and serve coffee. A great time was had by all!
|
The event was held at the Keith and Nina Poch Farm in Edgar, Marathon County. The event was hosted by the Partnership for Progressive Agriculture.The PPA's mission is to serve as a catalyst for Marathon County agriculture and bring together diverse members of Marathon County's agribusiness. |

Pam Galloway's campaign participated in the Memorial Day parade in Wausau on May 29, 2010. The truck was decorated with signs emphasizing the point of Memorial Day: Remember the Fallen. Her volunteers handed out poppies provided by the American Legion Auxiliary. The poppy's association with Memorial Day came about as a result of their reference in John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields" The poster of the Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the side of the truck was selected as one means to convey that Memorial Day is a National Day of Remembrance for the Fallen.
"The crew" of Pam's volunteers prepares to hit the pavement. In order to assure proper respect to The Fallen, Pam led the way ahead of the parade to mingle with the crowd and listen and learn. The volunteers were behind her walking through the crowd to hand out poppies. |
Laverne Rondeau (left) and Peter and Mary (right) Gunther decorate the truck which served as the campaign's float.
This is a look at the back of the truck. The poster used on the back of the truck was one urging people to "Remember" those who into harm's way on our behalf.

I traveled through Rusk County meeting people from all walks of life on May 12. The economic situation in the county is very bad, with unemployment ranging from 11-15 percent. Businesses are leaving, as one lady described, "in droves." Another described regulations and laws handed down from topside to be tying everyone's hands. He commented, "Laws distract us from getting our work done." That is a quotable quote in my book! We have got to turn all this around. I've got that on my plate to work hard. While the economic situation is bad, the people are resilient and are toughing it out. God bless them all.
I have found disenchantment with my opponent, Senator Decker. I also sensed disenchantment with political parties --- people want their representatives to vote according to the needs of their constituents rather than along straight party lines. They are looking for some independence among their representatives. They see laws made in Madison as perhaps good for the larger towns and cities, but not good for the smaller ones. Arguably the most worrisome thing to them and me is the number of businesses leaving the county. It is going to take some serious problem solving to reverse this trend. The people have some great ideas for doing that, and it's my job to listen to them, take their ideas aboard, and find solutions --- I'm good at that. Physicians are trained to to do this. While not all the news was good out here, I had a great day --- like making house calls where real "doctoring" can be done. |
The towns can be small, but our fellow Badgers live there and work as hard or harder than the next guy. It's uplifting to be with them. When I visit with people in our rural areas, I consistently find spunk, passion, and people who understand the problems, people with great ideas and insights how to solve them. They are fighters. |

April 29, 2010 The Wausau Region Chamber of Commerce Business EXPO was held at Marathon County Park on April 29, 2010. Business EXPO is the second largest trade show of its kind in Wisconsin, surpassing those of Madison, Racine, Kenosha, Green Bay, Appleton and others. Pam and several of her volunteers attended the EXPO and it was as upbeat an event for Pam and the vols as one could hope for. On occasion, she could not move from one spot as people came up to meet her and talk. There was great interest in her campaign, a happy day for her and her vols. In the photos below, you will see one of Pam's strong points in action --- she listens.
Steve and Nancy Woller (L), Steve the owner of Handcraft Furniture on 6th St. in Wausau, have a nice talk with Joanne Leonard (Red) and Pam.
All in all, good job to the Chamber of Commerce. There were a lot of companies there and for those who know very little about what kinds of businesses are working in Wausau, many of them are high tech, many are small, and they all conveyed the impression that they are here to make profits, help Wausau grow, and build their businesses and their employment rolls. |
Two Loris on the loose! Lori Laporte (L) and Lori Torrko (R), long-time friends, have a great chuckle while Pam, off the photo to the left, is talking to others, after having just met Lori Laporte. This is a great photo as it reflects the general upbeat feeling among all of Pam's campaign vols at the EXPO.

A recent event in Wausau brought together a group of women professionals to talk to and with Pam about the economy, healthcare, and defeating Senator Decker in the 29th Wisconsin Senate District. The photo on the left right shows see Pam with Joanne Leonard, a Marathon County Board Supervisor, District #6, Wausau, Wisconsin, while two other ladies are engaged in discussion. During much of the first half of April, Pam has been hitting the doors in the Wausau area talking to residents and listening to their perspectives.

March 13, 2010 Over 2,000 grassroots activists attended AFP's regional Wisconsin Defending the American Dream Summit in Wisconsin Rapids, March 13-14, 2010. The fired up activists sent a strong message to their legislators: "stop policies that encroach on our freedoms and put our country deeper in debt at the taxpayer's expense." The issues included education, energy, health and welfare, spending, taxes, technology and limited government. Pam Galloway and her husband Chris were featured speakers.
Pam and her husband, Chris, describe Bucky Badger's ills, but cleverly show that cures are simple polices to get Bucky back in the game. This photo was taken at the Defending the American Dream Summit sponsored by Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the place to be for free market conservatives.

February 21, 2010 My husband Chris and I went to the Wausau Curling Club Open House this weekend. This is some sport!
|
Cal Tillisch, the head instructor there, points out that it is a "sport that is more of strategy and finesse, touch and feel than it is size and strength." As a state senate candidate for Wisconsin, I took his words to heart. The club has about 300 members, kids right up to elders. It was great fun.

February 7, 2010 The 29th Wisconsin Senate District encompasses all of Price County. It is the fifth largest county in land area of the state's 72 counties. It is home to 15,581 people who are scattered throughout the area in small cities, villages and townships. About 26 percent of the people living here are ages baby to 24, so the county is prosperous in youth. The major industries are wood & paper products, tourism and manufacturing. Additional industries include farming, transportation and health care. Several Republican candidates were at the Price County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner, and Pam was one of them. She talks to the crowd extemporaneously, as a group and individually. One of the real upsides of going to these events is interacting with people. Pam's fresh, soft-spoken, business-like, well-thought-through views and values resonate with her audience.

February 3, 2010 The Phillips Chamber of Commerce in Price County boasts that "The Northwoods is in Our Backyard," and that it is, positioned squarely in the center of the state's Northern Highland Geographic Province. The county hosts Timm's Hill, the highest point in Wisconsin. Throughout the county is magnificent country, any time of the year. When Pam when up to visit, the 500 miles of maintained trails throughout the county were in excellent condition, hard-packed, with groomers out there. This is also logging country, with Flambeau Papers operating a big mill up in Park Falls and rail cars and trucks carrying logs from one point to another throughout the year. Phillips is located on Lake Elk and the adjacent Duroy Lake. |

January 31, 2010 The Republican Party of Marathon County (RPMC) held a membership caucus Schofield, a neighbor of Wausau. Pam, who served as the RPMC's chairman prior to declaring her candidacy for the state senate, spoke to the members and Executive Board, as did a few other candidates for public office who attended. |

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is a national organization headquartered in Missoula, Montana, whose mission is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat. The foundation's organization in Wisconsin is one of the most active in the eastern US in Elk conservation. It has over 6,000 members and 24 active chapters. Elk were reintroduced to the wild in Wisconsin in 1995, through a partnership between the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Clam Lake area in southwestern Ashland County is a favorite area for elk to "hang out." The foundation says the best time to get a glimpse of one is to visit the Clam Lake elk range in September and early October. Here you see Pam posing with a stuffed elk. The inscription below reads, "'Calling' Wisconsin Home." It is remarkable how big those fellows are! |

Dr. Galloway discusses the 29th Senate District at the Marathon County Medical Society meeting with Ellie Rohrdanz from the Wisconsin Medical Society. Health care issues are a passion with Pam. She has set up health care town halls in Wausau and Madison, cooperating with Americans for Prosperity. Thousands attended these sessions. She has also worked through the Chamber of Commerce Health Care Ad Hoc Committee. Indeed she has served as a panelist at these town halls and done interviews on the subject. She has adamantly opposed the current health care reform debacle for medical and big government reasons. Her vision is a patient-oriented, market-driven system. People should be able to select their own insurance plan based on their situation and requirements. She believes government mandates are driving up costs. She further believes that health care insurance ought to be disconnected from one's employer, since the employer tries to buy into comprehensive plans that are costly and may or may not apply to each individual's needs. She would like to see people able to buy health insurance across state lines, going to states where the mandates are few. |

In these photos, taken at an event at the Great Dane in Wausau on January 21, 2010, you see Pam, as you will see her often, conferring one-on-one with a potential constituent. She will remark without hesitation that this is the best part of her campaign and she expects it to be the best part of tour of duty in public office as a Wisconsin senator --- meeting her constituents and listening to, and hearing them. In the Federalist Papers, James Madison said this:
And that's what Pam is all about, and that's what drives her schedule the most. The hallmark of a good leader is to be surrounded by people smarter than the leader. When Pam speaks to or meets with constituents, she knows that she is surrounding herself with very smart people. She also knows that the number one way to create new knowledge is through dialog. Pam's persistent dialog with potential constituents is her number one way of becoming smarter than she was the day before. That she would be a fresh voice in the Wisconsin Senate will mean, in part, that she will bring new knowledge to the Senate as the result of meeting with so many constituents, during the campaign, and after. |

January 19, 2010 St. Mary's RC Church in Wausau held an afternoon Rally for Life in Wausau, hosting guest speaker Dr. Paul A. Byrne, MD. Trinity Lutheran Church on Stewart Ave. in Wausau also held a rally in the morning, hosting guest speaker Dr. Pam Galloway, MD. This was a one-two punch for pro-life.

Pam began her talk by relating a conversation she had with an elderly gentleman when she was knocking on doors a few weeks ago. He was very concerned about Obamacare. He thought the elderly were no longer considered economically valuable to society. Pam and the man talked for a while. She told him she shared his concerns, but that she thought the elderly are one of society's most precious resources. When thinking of the many ways grandparents contribute to the family, the elderly are precious. Pam told the audience at Trinity Lutheran that this man should be worried, for Obamacare is nothing more than an extension of a way of thinking that began with Roe vs Wade. If you can legitimize the taking of a completely defenseless human life, everything else is easy. When you look under the surface of Obamacare, it has nothing to do with healthcare, but is only another attempt by the government to devalue life, and to control every aspect of our lives. As a physician, Pam recognizes that life is the most valuable thing we have, and that is the philosophy that she will take to Madison should she have the honor of being elected your next state senator. The top photo shows Pam Galloway, standing to the left, speaking with Mary Wachtel, wife of Joe Wachtel, standing next to Mary. Joe is a former chairman, Republican Party of Marathon County, as is Pam. You can see by the faces of the audience that these people are worried by what has been happening with the Obama health care "reform" that purportedly has taxpayer money going to abortion. The bottom photo shows Pam reading the literature, which focused on the "40 Days for Life" campaign in train around the nation. The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities ... and the entire world.The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God’s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion in America. |

January 9, 2010 The event took place at Pier of d'Nort, known as "A pier without peers."
You can see the pier, and the people lined up waiting to jump into the water, or walk in slowly, however. Note the two next in line, holding to each other for dear life. Also note the guys toward the end of the line with no shirts. Good luck lads!
That's Pam Galloway in the middle, with her two friends, Jaimie Pontell to the left, and Barb Gartman to the right, next in line for the plunge! Note bene: Jaimie Pontell's nine year old daughter fell off a deck boat into Lake Minocqua on May 30, 2010. Jaimie dove in and saved her, but drowned after her heroic act. Jaimie remains in our hearts and on our minds. |
Adams, from Rhinelander, was with the 951st Engineering Company (Sapper), Wisconsin Army National Guard. He was killed by an enemy rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) on October 2, 2009 in Logar Province, Afghanistan. Enemy forces attacked his vehicle, killing him and injuring seven others from the Wisconsin Guard as well. His favorite charity was Angel On My Shoulder, for which he did charity work when home. Pam Galloway knows the family so she decided to go up there and take the plunge.

Mary did the honors of introducing Pam, and Lon worked to get the crowd going. They and Pam wanted an active exchange, and they got it. Pam had a chance to speak, answer questions from citizens who attended, and then mingle and chat about the issues of the day.

Mary Williams, State Representative, 87th Assembly District (L) with Pam Galloway, at the time, the chairman of the Republican Party of Marathon County. |
The Republican Party of Portage County sponsored an event in October 2009 to enable Republican congressional and state candidates to talk to voters. A nice crowd attended. Both Sean Duffy and Dan Mielke spoke, each vying for Congressman David Obey's 7th Congressional District seat. Superior Mayor Dave Ross, running for Lt. Governor and Mark Todd running for governor,also spoke, as did David Westlake, running to replace Senator Feingold.
One of the uplifting aspects to this meeting was the involvement by young college students from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point Republicans, the future of the party and the nation. |

The organization's vision is "A world without breast cancer," and its promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. |
The Komen Central Wisconsin affiliate was formed in October 2007 and at this writing is the newest Komen affiliate. It focuses on identifying the gaps in breast health care and providing community grants in the seven counties in north Central Wisconsin: Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Portage, Taylor, Wood and a portion of West Shawano County.
