Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin Celebrates Endorsed Candidates Advancing to General Election
MADISON – Statement from Mike Murray, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin (PPAWI):
“PPAWI congratulates all of our endorsed candidates for the inspiring campaigns they ran in the August partisan primary. We are proud of our endorsed candidates who won their contested primary races and will be moving on to the general election: Sen. LaTonya Johnson (SD-6); Jonathon Hansen (SD-30); Brad Pfaff (SD-32); Rep. Marisabel Cabrera (AD-9); Rep. Lisa Subeck (AD-78); Rep. Sondy Pope (AD-80); and Kristina Shelton (AD-90). We know these candidates will help bring a bold vision for the future of our state to voters in the November election and win important races that will help ensure our state legislature reflects our values and the communities it is supposed to represent and serve.”
“None of these results would be possible without a continued commitment from Wisconsinites to uphold our state’s proud tradition of civic engagement, even as they exercise their right to vote under the shadow of a pandemic. Our staff, supporters, and volunteers engage in year-round civic engagement efforts to inform and empower communities, and we continued to adapt these efforts to make sure our supporters had the information they needed for the partisan primary. PPAWI sent over 41,000 text messages, made over 6,800 phone calls, and reached over 596,000 people on social media to assist them with voter registration, requesting absentee ballots, returning their absentee ballots, and providing them with information about the candidates we endorsed.”
“As we celebrate these victories, we will continue to mobilize our supporters to hold our elected officials accountable and support candidates who will fight for policies to create a more just Wisconsin for everyone.”
