Ready to bring fiscal responsibility, transparency, & compassion to Rock County
“I love our country, Rock County, and the City of Janesville and the opportunities it offers. I am enthusiastic and ready for this challenge.”
Sheila Nitz – District 25 Candidate
Meet Sheila NItz. Sheila is a lifelong Janesville resident, former Miss Janesville, and a Licensed Practical Nurse. She graduated from Janesville Craig in 1985, Blackhawk Tech in 2004, and UW Whitewater in 2006.
Sheila decided to run after witnessing reckless spending on the county board, particularly the $100,000,000 jail project that was quickly voted in by the previous board without a referendum. Nitz believes citizens should always have a voice in large, capital projects.
After reading about multiple transparency issues, including open meeting violations by the current board, she decided the time was right to step up and be a transparent, honest representative for the constituents of of District 25.
Sheila has voluteered with hospice, her church, and for Sips and Sounds.
What Sheila Stands For:
Responsible Government Spending
Listening to the constituents of District 25 and Rock County
Transparency in government
Addressing accessibility issues for the aging and disabled
Referendums for large capital projects
Making the world a better place for our kids and grandkids
