Senator Andre Jacque of the 1st Senate District was recently awarded the 2019-20 Friend of the Towns Award by Lee Engelbrecht, WTA District 5 Director and Manitowoc County Unit Chair, for his work supporting town government.
Mike Koles, WTA Executive Director, said in a new release, “Senator Jacque authored and provided critical leadership to an effort that resulted in a series of town law reforms.”
Friends of town government share a core belief that the best decisions occur in a decentralized system and closest to the people. They understand that local government leadership is the fuel for inventive solutions to public sector challenges and the key to unlocking the power of democracy.
