Ryan Spaude, a candidate for Wisconsin Assembly District 89, has released a statement in response to his opponent's latest ad.Pat Buckley's ad refers to Spaude as "Radical Ryan Spaude" and says the candidate has forced girls to share locker rooms and bathrooms with men. The ad also accuses the candidate of pushing sex operations and puberty blockers on children.According to Spaude, the ad contains anti-LGBTQ attacks. Read Ryan's full statement below. Hate has no place in Green Bay. Its sad to see how the Republicans are launching anti-LGBTQ attacks during the final week of the election. These new ads have no basis in reality. Theres no citations in the ads, because theyre just not true. My opponent is trying to distract you. Hes trying to distract from his record on the Brown County Board. And hes trying to distract from a shocking new report about an assisted living facility that he owned and represented. Folks like Pat Buckley want to fight the culture wars. Thats because they dont have any ideas that will actually help working families. Im staying focused on what matters. With a historic budget surplus, we need to invest in healthcare, childcare, and public schools. We can do so much to help working families, if we elect new leadership down in Madison. NBC 26 reached out to Buckley's campaign for comment. Read their statement below. Ryan Spaude is backed by leftwing organizations that support the points outlined in the video (please see links below). If he feels that his record and association with these organizations policies has been wrongly construed, we would encourage him to publicly state that he opposes allowing biological males to play girls sports, allowing biological males to use girls bathrooms and locker rooms, and opposes allowing sex-change operations and puberty blockers for minors.Republican Pat Buckley and Democrat Ryan Spaude are battling in the ballot on November 5 for the Assembly District 89 seat.
