Dear Nom --
Our Spring Gathering in Stevens
Point was a great step forward for the WIGP. We endorsed candidates,
updated our platform, revised our bylaws, and left the meeting in a
stronger position to build Wisconsin’s party for people, planet and
peace over profit.
We discussed and voted on
substantial changes to our state party platform, including new planks
on election integrity, tuition-free public higher education, criminal
justice and police reform, immigration reform, affordable housing,
clean drinking water, Great Lakes protection, and more. We will post
the full updated platform soon - stay tuned.
We also revised our party’s bylaws,
making a number of changes recommended by members of our Structure
Team to improve the effectiveness of our state party. We will be
posting our updated bylaws soon.
At the end of the day, we heard
from candidates seeking our nomination and members were able to ask
questions and engage in spirited discussion. We voted to endorse the
following candidates:
Michael White for
Governor
Tiffany Anderson for Lt.
Governor
Brad Karas for Secretary of
State
Nathan Pelkey for State
Treasurer
Ken Yorgan for US House of
Representatives, District 1
Aaron Camacho for State Senate,
District 31
We’re excited to have such a strong
slate of candidates - now we need help getting them on the
ballot!
We have until June 1st to gather
thousands of signatures to put our endorsed candidates on the ballot -
please click here to volunteer if you’re
willing to help gather signatures, whether 10 or 100.
This Saturday May 5th is a
nationwide “Green Wave” where Greens across the country will be out
volunteering for local campaigns. Help us gather signatures and be
a part of the Green Wave!
Peace,
Dave Schwab
Co-chair,
WI Green Party
