The endorsed candidates in this slate represent key legislative districts across the state:
- Mark Becker, Senate District 1
- Kevin Knoke, Assembly District 30
- Becky Nichols, Assembly District 53
- John Kroll, Assembly District 85
- Rep. Shelia Stubbs, Assembly District 78
- Rep. Tara Johnson, Assembly District 96
This announcement follows Wisconsin Conservation Voters’ initial slate released in June. The organization will continue its vetting process and announce additional candidate endorsements in August following the partisan primary elections.
“Wisconsinites are looking for practical solutions to real challenges, like rising utility rates and protecting drinking water,” Hoffmeister said. “These candidates have shown they will put their communities first and advocate for policies that make our state cleaner, safer, and more affordable.”
