The results are in, and after one of the largest environmental voter mobilization efforts in Wisconsin history, we worked with our state LCV partners and took back two seats in the state senate. It’s a major blow to Scott Walker’s rabidly anti-environment agenda.
For the past two months, LCV was on the ground alongside our allies at the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters and We Are Wisconsin mobilizing more than 1 million voters. On Election Day, hundreds of volunteers started mobilizing voters from 25 GOTV staging locations in the targeted state senate districts. Just this past weekend alone, volunteers knocked on more than 125,000 doors.
While last night’s election wasn’t the outcome we wanted, you should be proud of the fact that you helped take on the massive spending power of the Koch Brothers and corporate special interests and still won two pro-environment seats in the state senate.
This fight isn’t over yet. Next Tuesday is the final round of Wisconsin State Senate recall elections. There are two pro-environment state senators facing recall and LCV and the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters must defend those seats.
Thanks for all your support during this critical fight.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
President
League of Conservation Voters
