JAMES P. ZIMMERMAN

2954 HILL LANE

BLANCHARDVILLE, WI.  53516

 

My name is James Zimmerman and I am a candidate for Treasurer of St. Isidore Parish.

I am 69 years old and a lifetime native of Blanchardville and member of Immaculate Conception parish.  I am married to Judy Parkinson of Blanchardville, for 41 years, and we have three grown children.  I am a member of the Knights of Columbus and have served on the parish council twice, once as President of the Council. I spent my entire working career in the cheese business, owning a couple of cheese companies.  I have 40 years of business experience and money management. I have been retired since November of 2018 and am active in investing and money management.

I would be happy to serve one more term as treasurer for Saint Isidore Parish.

 

Sincerely

Jim Zimmerman
