Well today was my last day going door-to-door in District 12. With Easter tomorrow and Monday being a work day and opening day for Brewers fans I decided to get out today and meet with more people.
If this is your first reading of a blog of mine I encourage you to read previous entries or see any of the local news outlets for information on where I stand on the issues and how I believe they should be solved. Regardless of the outcome Tuesday, District 12 will have a new Alderman. That fact makes this election so important and that you, the voter, goes and votes.
I had the privilege of going on a police ride along this last week. I was blown away at the experience. I was impressed with each officer I came in contact with and got some amazing insight from the 2 different officers I rode with. I was able to experience two different shifts by going in at 7 pm and getting home a little before 2 am. Made for a tired work day the day after but it was well worth it considering the hands on interaction I got with the department as well as some residents. Public safety is a priority of mine and attending a ride along I found incredibly valuable. If elected I would attend more of these.
Thank you to everyone who has shown their support with a lawn sign, share or like! None of it goes unnoticed and know that all of it makes a difference. Please share with your neighbors and encourage them to vote.
If you have questions or feedback for me I encourage you to contact me at 414 795 0990 or perryforalderman@gmail.com. Enjoy your weekend, have a blessed Easter and I hope you go to the polls on Tuesday. District 12 votes at Waukesha West High School.

1 Week!
I just wanted to share an update after a great Saturday of campaigning door to door in River's Crossing. My great friend of 16 years and campaign manager, Adam Engelstad, drove all the way from the Twin Cities to help me go door to door and get the conservative message out. We had great conversations with voters on the issues not only in our district but in the city as well. I even spoke with a few voters who did not know you could vote early because they were going to be on vacation April 2nd. I hope we have great voter turnout next week!
This week stay tuned to Patch.com, Waukesha NOW, and the Freeman as they will publish the questionnaires that I filled out on the issues in our city and district. Patch.com already has theirs out here for you to view. Today I had the opportunity to speak with a district 12 resident one on one which I found rewarding, as the best thing I know a leader in city government can do is listen. We may not always see eye to eye but rest assured I will represent everyone in our district equally and provide transparency that instills trust in our Alderman's seat.
Finally the issue most important in the next week is voting. Local elections most likely have a larger impact on our day to day lives than a federal or state race. If recent history has taught us anything in politics it's that elections matter and our votes absolutely matter. I encourage you to make time on Tuesday, April 2nd to get to Waukesha West High School between 7am and 8pm to make your voice heard with your vote. In addition to that I encourage you to share this information with your neighbors or friends in any district to make sure they make time to vote. I ask for your vote as we continue to grow this community together.

Great Forum-Crunch Time
I enjoyed the forum at Carroll University last night. It was great to take questions from people and hear the honest answers from other candidates. It also motivated me even more to ensure District 12 is represented properly and by someone who has District 12's priorities first. I will be going door to door this coming Saturday as well as Saturday March 30th, the Saturday before the election. Also don't be surprised if you see me on Monday April 1st encouraging you to vote while you're watching the Brewers on opening day. This election matters and I take this opportunity seriously, my hope is that you the voter takes voting seriously.
I have a link right here that will bring you to the live blog from last night. This details and quotes answers to questions that were asked last night. Although we were only given a minute to answer questions that are complex, I am confident in my answers and am very happy with how I did last night. If you have a question or concern I encourage you to contact me directly and I will make time for you.
Like I said last night, what sets me apart is that I have lived in several areas of the country. I know a great place to live when I see one and Waukesha is special. I ask for your help in electing someone who realizes this and wants to expand on it. I want to ensure our children have a safe place to live and a place we can grow old knowing we have leaders who value our city as much as you do. I ask for your dedication to vote.
Here are the ways to find more information or to contact me. To see my Facebook Page and Twitter Page feel free to click on those links. My phone number is 414 795 0990 and email is perryforalderman@gmail.com. If you would like to support the campaign with a lawn sign I will be out this Saturday giving out the last of those. Here is a link to a blog I wrote for Patch.com back in December.
I look forward to meeting and speaking with as many residents as possible this weekend with my campaign manager who is traveling here from Minnesota to help me go door to door. I appreciate everyone's support and ask that you take the time to vote on April 2nd.
Regards,
Aaron Perry

Campaigning, Voting, and a Forum
I hope everyone had a great weekend and a safe St. Patrick's Day. I spent the weekend in St. Cloud, MN celebrating my Mother in-laws 60th birthday party. I'm looking forward to spending the next 2 Saturdays going door to door and meeting with more neighbors in District 12. If you would like to meet with me feel free to contact me directly and I'd love to come by.
Early voting has now begun! If you are already a registered voter you can vote in person in the Clerk's office at City Hall. Voter turnout is important and elections matter. Ensure your voice is heard by voting in this Spring election. District 12 votes at Waukesha West High School on April 2nd, for a complete list of the city's polling locations see here.
Finally there is a candidate forum this Wednesday night at Carroll University. The forum will take place from 7-8:30 PM in the Dorothy Goff Frisch Recital Hall of the Shattuck Music Center, 218 N. East Ave. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to speak to hopefully a large group of voters and meeting with the other candidates including my opponent who has committed to participating as well. With 9 candidates and only 90 minutes there will be a limited amount of time to address each question to a proper extent. Knowing this ahead of time I will be sending out a recap blog extending and clarifying any answers that will need further explanation later in the week.
I hope everyone has a great week, remember to vote!

Aaron Perry

30 Days! A little about me...
I hope everyone had a great weekend! March is now here and hopefully we'll begin to see some of that great spring weather in Wisconsin. Saturday was exciting to get a handful of lawn signs out to residents and businesses. A big thank you goes out to all who have one and to my Father and Father in law who helped me put them out! If you would like to have one feel free to contact me directly. I'm more than happy to bring one by.
Today was extremely special because my youngest son Jackson was baptized today at Christ the Servant Lutheran church. I have been a Christian and Lutheran all my life. My Father is a Lutheran Pastor and I attended a Lutheran High School all 4 years graduating from Mayer Lutheran High School in 1998.
I married my wife Angela in August of 2007 and we moved to Wisconsin just days after our wedding day. We instantly fell in love with the area and chose River Hills Estates in Waukesha to buy a house and start our family. We were blessed with our first son Landon in September of 2011 and our son Jackson was born on Veteran's Day just last year on 11-11. We feel very at home in Waukesha and love that we'll raise our family in such a great safe area.
From Day 1 I have communicated that public safety is a priority of mine. I believe with so many neighborhoods in our District having been built in the last 15 years it is imperative we do all we can to maximize the value of our area. The value of our homes lies in public safety, controlling taxes, and ensuring our residents are represented appropriately. District 12 is an area I would be proud to represent on the Common Council.
This last Wednesday night I attended the Plan Commission meeting in the Council Chambers. On the agenda was the rezoning of the BMO Harris owned and undeveloped land off of Clearwater Lane from Rm-3 Multi-family residential to RD-2 2 family residential. Basically the proposal to build large apartment buildings in the area was not in the best interest of the current home owners in the area for a list of reasons. I agree with them 100% which is why I wanted to attend to show my support. This was a prime example of how an Alderman can assist residents in making difference in their community. Alderman Rick Hastings did a great job on this cause and was successful along with each one of us who attended that night. The vote was 5-2 in favor of rezoning. This measure will now go on to the Common Council for approval. I look forward to having the opportunity to represent District 12 and make common sense decisions if elected in April.
I hope everyone has a great week and I emphatically encourage you to share this blog as well as Like the Facebook page Vote Perry and follow the campaign on Twitter at @perry4alderman. I'll be going door to door in areas of District 12 this next weekend, sending out more direct mail and blogging more about the campaign. If you'd like a lawn sign you can contact me 414 795 0990 or perryforalderman@gmail.com. Thanks everyone!
