Abstract:

Subject files, mainly 1987-1992, of a pro-life Catholic Democrat from La Crosse who served in the Wisconsin Assembly from 1977 to 1992. Included are legislative drafts and notes; background information and clippings; and correspondence exchanged with constituents, special interest groups, and other legislators. Major correspondents include physicians from the Gundersen Clinic, legislators Brian Rude and Virgil Roberts, Barbara Lyons of Wisconsin Citizens Concerned for Life, and representatives of the La Crosse Area Alliance for the Mentally Ill. The best documented topics include abortion, adoption, alcohol, child care, gambling, the Hmong, mental illness, and topics of local La Crosse interest. A few files relate to the adoption activities of Representative Stephen Leopold of Milwaukee.
