Well, it’s a time for choosing.

When I cast my vote for President, I will be voting for a conservative Republican whose agenda I believe in, whose commitment to liberty is beyond doubt and whose grasp of the issues and ability to work with GOP House and Senate members would serve the party and more importantly America, well.

I am going to vote for Evan McMullin.

I am not ‘done’ with the Republican Party. Rather, I remain committed to the Party of Lincoln. And Reagan. And Thompson. And Walker. And Schimel. And Vukmir. And Kooyenga. And Hutton. And, me.

The most important race for Wisconsin conservatives and moderates this fall is the re-election of GOP United States Senator Ron Johnson. But when it comes to the Presidency, the GOP’s official nominee is so woefully deficient, I’ve looked elsewhere.

And I was #NeverHillary decades before I was #NeverTrump.

Fortunately, I do not have to settle for the lesser of two evils.

I can, and will, be voting for Evan McMullin. That’s where I stand.

Disenchanted Republicans in Wisconsin must still vote this fall. They cannot stay home, it would be devastating to Senator Johnson’s prospects. McMullin gives them an opportunity to cast a vote for President they can be proud of. The two major party candidates are ignoring issues of concern to Millennials. McMullin gives them an opportunity to cast a vote for a candidate who addresses their needs. Independents who are sick of the fact-free campaign being run by the two major parties have a viable and respectable candidate in Evan McMullin.

Trump ‘shook things up’ by being vulgar, petty and devoid of fidelity to conservative principles. McMullin shakes things up in a way we can respect, be proud of, and be a part of. McMullin outlines principles around which we can rally.

Our basic rights are God-given. We honor our Constitution. Government power must be separated and balanced. Our leaders must be honest and wise. We share responsibility for service and civic duty. Our leaders must be fiscally responsible. Government must promote a free market. We must help people in poverty to overcome it. We must protect life from birth to natural death. National defense is a primary federal government responsibility. All Americans should have access to affordable, quality health care. Our 2nd Amendment rights must be protected. Healthy immigration is important to our future.

Binary choices are so 20th Century!

In the Primary I said I believed Wisconsin was better than Donald Trump. I still believe that. A strong showing by McMullin here helps lay a foundation for a strong Republican Party based not on a cult of personality, but rather on the ideas and principles of Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, James Sensenbrenner and other common sense conservatives whom I’ve been proud to support and work for over the years.

In the coming days I will share with you the steps you can take to write in his name on ballots in Wisconsin.

It is a time for choosing. I choose Evan McMullin.
