We recently released our latest slate of endorsements for state legislature candidates. They are an inspiring bunch! The full lists for both the primary and the general elections are published on our website, but here are just a few for you to meet:
Yee Leng Xiong for Assembly District 85
Yee Leng Xiong is running to represent the new, more competitive AD 85 (Wausau area), the tipping-point seat to win a pro-conservation majority in the assembly. Yee Leng Xiong says addressing PFAS contamination and releasing the $125 million in PFAS remediation funding is one of his top conservation priorities. He’s also a strong supporter of Wisconsin’s Clean Energy Plan.
LuAnn Bird for Assembly District 61
LuAnn Bird is running to represent the highly competitive AD 61 west of Milwaukee. Now retired, she brings a lifetime of leadership experience, including serving as the Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin. If elected, she will work for environmental protections and she will be a dedicated advocate for protecting voting rights and getting rid of hurdles that make it difficult for disabled Wisconsinites to cast their ballots.
Angela Stroud for Assembly District 73
Up north, Angela Stroud is running to represent the new 73rd district. If she wins her primary on Aug. 13, she’ll be highly favored to win the general election under the new maps.
“Protecting Lake Superior is the top issue in my campaign, because if the people of the 73rd Assembly District don’t protect the lake, who will?” she says. Stroud supports robust measures to protect Wisconsin’s water from PFAS, oil pipelines, CAFOs and other sources of pollution, as well as long-term funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund.
