New Berlin, WI - As the Wisconsin gubernatorial election starts to heat up as the cold days of November approach, BUYSEASONS hosted two of the men seeking Wisconsin’s top job. Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, a republican, and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a democrat, visited BUYSEASONS’ corporate headquarters on July 26 and August 5, respectively.
Walker and Barrett had the opportunity to speak with the BUYSEASONS leadership team over lunch about the direction they would lead the State of Wisconsin if elected the next governor. Both candidates were also offered the chance to tour BUYSEASONS’ manufacturing, distribution and customer services facilities.
"It was great to have both of these gentleman tour our facilities," said Jalem Getz, BUYSEASONS CEO. "Not only does it give our employees a chance to meet and talk with these candidates, but it gives these candidates an opportunity to see how vital local businesses are to local communities and the State."
