No Show Jill Underly Strikes Twice in One Day

MADISON, Wisc. – No Show Jill Underly is back to her old tricks again! After skipping the WisPolitics forum during the primary and promising to debate the candidate to advance, No Show Jill Underly missed not one, but TWO different debates on Thursday!

Not only did Underly refuse to show her face at what should have been a debate at Marquette Law University, but she also declined to participate in the Madison One City Advocates Forum as well. In the process, she thumbed her nose up to more than 20 different organizations that sponsored the forums. Take a look:

• African American Council of Churches
• Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity UW-Madison Grad Chapter
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County
• Center for Black Excellence and Culture
• Centro Hispano of Dane County
• Common Wealth Development
• Community Coordinated Child Care, Inc. (4-C)
• Delta Sigma Theta Sorority — Madison Alumni Chapter
• Edgewood College
• Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity — Madison Alumni Chapter
• Madison Metropolitan Chapter of The Links, Incorporated
• MKE Scholars Program (Milwaukee)
• Mount Zion Baptist Church
• Omega Psi Phi — Madison Alumni Chapter
• United Way of Dane County
• One City Advocates, Inc.
• Urban League of Greater Madison
• Urban Triage
• Wisconsin Africa Trade & Investment Promotion
• Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities

While Underly hid in her basement, Brittany Kinser showed up and shared her message of restoring high standards with students, families, and other voters ready to see a transformation in our education system.

During her conversations with Madison One City and Marquette, Brittany highlighted the following positions as part of her winning message as the next DPI Superintendent:

• It’s unacceptable that only 3 out of 10 students are college- or career-ready. We must restore high standards to ensure every child can go to college, get a meaningful job, or master a trade.
• We must get back to teaching the science of reading and phonics to ensure 95 percent of Wisconsin students are reading proficient. Under Jill Underly, 95 percent of Black students in Milwaukee are NOT reading proficient.
• While Jill Underly finds herself at odds with state and local leaders, Brittany Kinser will make DPI a bridge-building agency that works hand-in-hand with leaders in Madison and school districts across the state to ensure our students have the BEST they deserve.
