Rep. Baldeh Statement on Appointment to WEDC Board of Directors

“I Welcome This New Opportunity to Serve”

MADISON – Earlier today, Representative Samba Baldeh (D-Madison) was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) by Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer (D-Racine). In response, Representative Baldeh released the following statement:

“It is truly an honor to be appointed to the WEDC Board of Directors, and I want to thank Leader Neubauer for her trust in me with this appointment. I welcome this new opportunity to serve my community and the entire state. I am eager to begin my work with the Board of Directors.

I also want to thank Representative Francesca Hong for her service on the Board, and I look forward to building upon her good work.

As an entrepreneur and small business owner, and after two decades working in corporate America, I have seen firsthand the challenges and possibilities that come with doing business in Wisconsin and the good that WEDC can create in our communities.

As the Assembly Democrats’ representative to the Board, I promise to continue to serve as a voice for our underrepresented communities and to bring a diverse and globally-oriented viewpoint to the Board of Directors.”
