Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters Announces Endorsements
Slate highlights problem solvers.
Madison- Today Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters announced their endorsed candidates for the upcoming November election. The slate represents a bipartisan set of candidates committed to getting to work to solve Wisconsin’s most pressing conservation problems.
“Overwhelmingly, we hear from our members that they are tired of the partisan bickering in Madison. They are looking for elected officials who are able to set politics aside, bring different stakeholders to the table, and get the job done. Our endorsed candidates reflect those values,” said Anne Sayers, Program Director for Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters.
All endorsed candidates were carefully considered and approved by the Board of Directors of Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. Candidates were evaluated on a set of criteria including their ability to solve conservation problems. High value was put on candidates who are committed to working in a bipartisan way, were good listeners, and deeply valued the concerns of their constituents and local groups.
“We are facing such significant and immediate threats when it comes to conservation in Wisconsin. With drinking water wells running low and lakes being choked with stinky, green algae, the threats are just too great to waste time on partisanship and petty politics. We are anxious to get to work finding pragmatic solutions with these candidates next session,” concluded Sayers.
