Wisconsin Conservation Voters endorsed candidates won more races in the April 2022 election than ever before. We endorsed over 100 candidates in local races – with 70 winning. Once in office, these elected officials will shape clean energy policy and defend our freedom to vote. We're excited to see how these leaders will take significant, tangible climate action based on the needs and vision of their communities.
Despite record out-of-state spending and unprecedented attack ads, our endorsed candidates fought positive, issue-based campaigns. Even in the biggest races with the most money, we were able to fight, shift the narrative, and win.
In Eau Claire, a majority of our endorsed candidates won and will continue to grow the city as a leader in climate action. All of our Appleton endorsed candidates won their races and will partner with our campaign to transition the city to 100 percent clean energy. In La Crosse County, we defended a pro-conservation majority against heavy opposition spending. Our success in Portage County will elevate and address clean water issues.
Your work in this election was more important than ever. The extreme threat to democracy and urgency of addressing climate change demanded your action and dedication – and you delivered. In these challenging times, the conservation voter movement continues to grow in communities across Wisconsin. Thank you and congratulations.
We are proud and excited to have supported these current and future leaders of the state we love and call home.
