Wisconsin Conservation Voters releases first round of endorsements for the November 2022 Election
Jun 15, 2022
MADISON – Wisconsin Conservation Voters is proud to announce its first wave of endorsements for the November 8 Election. This round of endorsements focuses on incumbents who have consistently worked to protect the environment and our democracy.
“There’s so much on the line in November,” said Executive Director Kerry Schumann. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen how much our democracy hangs in the balance. We’ve seen increased impacts of climate change and more Wisconsinites living without safe drinking water. Both Gov. Evers and Attorney General Kaul have proven over and over that they will fight for Wisconsin – for our water and air, for our democracy, and much more. We’re proud to endorse the governor and attorney general and this first slate of incumbent legislative candidates who will continue the fight for a brighter, cleaner, more equitable Wisconsin.”
All of these candidates demonstrated leadership on conservation and democracy issues in the last session. Despite challenges to governance presented by an undemocratic, gerrymandered legislature, these candidates continue to push for what Wisconsinites value – protecting our natural resources and our freedom to vote.
“We are proud to support these incumbent candidates,” said Seth Hoffmeister, Deputy Director. “These incumbents are tried and true conservation champions. We identified and endorsed these candidates because these particular offices are critical for keeping our state on track to a brighter, healthier future. Whoever wins these races will determine how – and if – our state invests in cleaner water, cleaner energy, and protecting our freedom to vote. It’s our highest priority – for all of our communities and for our children’s future – to reelect these incumbent candidates.”
