The fight for our environment and our democracy start at the local level, so that's where we've invested. These candidates give us hope for a better Wisconsin – and once elected, will fight for it. We’re proud to endorse this most recent slate of candidates who will fight for a brighter, cleaner, more equitable Wisconsin.” Each of these endorsed candidates is thoroughly vetted by Wisconsin Conservation Voters' staff, board, and the people who call these communities home.

“More than any other elections, local races shape our neighborhoods and impact our daily lives,” said Seth Hoffmeister, Deputy Director. “They’ve become increasingly important in conservation and democracy work. Wisconsin Conservation Voters has demonstrated that local governments are on the frontlines of protecting our democracy and can take significant, tangible climate action – from addressing pollution to the transition to clean energy.” For our entire slate of endorsed candidates and election updates click here. *** Engaging voters to protect Wisconsin’s environment. |
