REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE'S PARENTS DONATE TO HIS OPPONENT

The parents of a GOP candidate for the US Senate in Wisconsin have made the maximum contributions allowed in the race – to their son’s rival. Kevin Nicholson is challenging incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin in the 2018 mid-term elections. In December, his parents, Donna and Michael Nicholson – who have always backed Democrats – each donated the maximum amount – $2,700 – to Baldwin. Nicholson, who in 2000 was president of the College Democrats in America at the University of Minnesota, said his shift from liberal to conservative came when he heard Democrats opposing the war in Iraq, where he served in 2007. He says, “I’m a conservative today not because I was born one, but because of the experience I earned as a Marine in combat, my experience as a husband and father, my choice to be a Christian, the schools I chose to attend and the decision to pursue the career that I have​,” he said.

* They need to remember that Kevin could be the one who picks out their senior care facility.
