If Fitz talks tax cuts, media must mention his congressional run

Fitzgerald keeps promoting a 2020 WI state property tax cut, and Gov. Evers has a proper response that is almost complete:

Evers in Monday end-of-year interview with the Cap Times said it is "way too early" to commit spending potential surplus funding when Wisconsin has "issues around clean drinking water" and "our schools not having enough resources." 

Two things about the story:

1. Evers is on point with his remark about clean water.

NEW POLL SHOWS SW WISCONSIN VOTERS PRIORITIZE SAFE CLEAN DRINKING WATER AS TOP ISSUE OF CONCERN & FAVOR SPECIFIC REGULATIONS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY

2. The story does not mention that Fitzgerald is running for a congressional seat - - something he announced on September 17th. 


So he's been making these very premature but politically-loaded noises about a tax cut for more than three months - - which was also a mere five days after he declared his congressional candidacy, as the headline on this September 22 story correctly makes clear:

Wisconsin Senate leader Scott Fitzgerald, who is running for Congress, floats new tax cut

Let's not create the impression that when Fitzgerald talks about tax cuts or other hot button issues these days that his words are strictly those of a state senator, even one in leadership.

I'm not out to bash the reporting. I'm just hoping that media and others will consistently mention Fitzgerald's candidacy because influences and colors his statements.
