Pro-conservation candidates win in the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly
WISCONSIN – Wisconsin voters made it clear that clean water, clean energy, and democracy are top priorities at the polls. In Tuesday’s election, 79 percent of Wisconsin Conservation Voters endorsed candidates won their races, including crucial seats in Senate Districts 8 and 30.
In priority races in the State Assembly, Steve Doyle (AD 94), Ryan Spaude (AD 89), and Jodi Emerson (AD 91) won. Pro-conservation legislators now hold 45 seats in the State Assembly, protecting the governor’s veto from a supermajority.
Executive Director Kerry Schumann had this to say about the results:
“It has been our long-term strategy to build power at the state and local levels to protect our air, land, water, and democracy. With Donald Trump’s re-election, these state wins are more important than ever to safeguard our freedoms and our environment.
“With new fair maps, we now have competitive districts and the power to hold the legislature accountable to the will of the voters. The fact remains – everyone needs clean drinking water and a healthy environment. With this new legislature, we see a new opportunity to make pivotal progress on clean drinking water and pro-conservation legislation.”
