Milwaukee – Alex Lasry today announced the endorsement of Shannon Holsey, President of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians. President Holsey is the latest addition to a growing list of people from across the state who are supporting Alex Lasry to be Wisconsin’s next U.S. Senator.

“We need a U.S. Senator that will put in the work necessary to understand and represent the issues facing Wisconsin’s native nations,” said President Shannon Holsey. “Alex Lasry is engaging tribal leaders and learning about the concerns of our constituents and how to serve a very diverse state with a broad set of needs. He is the person that I trust to represent Wisconsin’s sovereign tribal nations, and I’m proud to endorse his campaign to be Wisconsin’s next U.S. Senator.”

Holsey is currently serving her third term as the President of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, after becoming the youngest person ever elected to the post in 2015.
