Lori Compas is known to many as the woman who had the courage to take on Republican incumbent Scott Fitzgerald in Wisconsin Senate District 13. But before Compas became a grassroots hero, she was (and still is) a small business owner. On Thursday, 9/27/12, she will combine her passion for progressive politics and business with the launch of a new organization, the Wisconsin Business Alliance.

Lori Compas explained her rationale for the formation of her new venture via email: “I’m often asked whether I’ll run for office again. The simple answer is that I just don’t know. I enjoyed being a candidate, but for now I’m working full-time on launching a new organization, the Wisconsin Business Alliance…

Details about the Wisconsin Business Alliance will also become available on the website on Thursday (wisconsinbusinessalliance.com). Meanwhile, check out the organization on Facebook and Twitter. Knowing Lori Compas, this is going to be good.
