Clean Wisconsin Action Fund Candidate Endorsements

Clean Wisconsin Action Fund, as a 501(c)(4) organization, can and does endorse political candidates for state office.  We let you know which current and hopeful elected officials will work the hardest to protect Wisconsin’s environment and way of life and put people before politics. 

In the past two legislative sessions, Wisconsin’s legislature voted to weaken protection for our lakes and rivers and to weaken protections for our air.  Through our endorsements, the Clean Wisconsin Action Fund wants to help make sure our next legislature acts to protect the future of our natural resources and our children’s health.
