Hi John,
Happy October! Time certainly flies! The election on Nov. 5 is now just weeks away. We have a fantastic slate of endorsed candidates [[link removed]] who are poised to win elections under new maps and fight for our conservation voter values: clean drinking water, clean energy, a healthy democracy, accessible public lands, and a brighter future for all.
At our recent Green Tie Gala, Angela Stroud, our endorsed candidate for Assembly District 73 – which encompasses nearly all of Wisconsin’s Lake Superior shoreline – gave a rousing speech focused on her love of that lake and the region.
With just weeks separating us from election day, I’m introducing many of our endorsed candidates. You can check out all our endorsements here [[link removed]] . This week we’re featuring Angela Stroud, candidate for the 73rd Assembly District.
Meet Angela Stroud for Senate District 73
Angela Stroud is an educator who moved to Ashland 12 years ago and “...fell in love with the lake and Northwoods, the Chequamegon Bay community, and the larger region. People have a deeper connection to life and place here than I’ve experienced anywhere else. One of my favorite things about Northern Wisconsin is how much of the culture revolves around being outdoors…” That love for place will motivate Stroud to protect the Northwoods and Lake Superior.
Protecting the water
From Superior to Bad River, the 73rd is the Lake Superior watershed district. Stroud will partner with all water protectors in helping to ensure that we keep Lake Superior and the larger ecosystem safe from any threats. Protecting Lake Superior is her priority, and she’ll be a fierce advocate in the Capitol for our greatest freshwater resource.
Strengthening democracy
On her campaign website Stroud says: “I believe that no matter who we vote for, we’re all in this together, and we have to start acting like it. There’s too much at stake to give up on democracy.” With anti-democracy attacks already happening here, Stroud will be a steadfast champion for a robust, accessible democracy for everyone in Wisconsin.
Honoring sovereignty and opposing the Line 5 pipeline
Stroud has said time and time again protecting Lake Superior is her campaign’s number one goal. Line 5 is running through the Bad River Reservation and that’s part of the 73rd. Stroud is clear: “…Enbridge is trespassing. Bad River is an autonomous government. They have sovereignty over their own decisions. But the entire pipeline exists in ceded territory, and the treaties that our government signed require that we allow them to maintain their rights to hunt, fish and gather. This pipeline is a risk to the lake, and it’s a risk to treaty rights. It’s a moral and legal obligation that we live up to those promises.”
We’re excited to endorse Angela Stroud for Assembly District 73. We need your help to make sure people know about her and all of our endorsed candidates. Can you donate today to help make sure we meet our goals and finish these next few weeks as strong as we can? [[link removed]]
Angela Stroud will be a force in Madison. With new voting maps in place, Wisconsinites now have an opportunity to make their voices heard and their votes count. With your help, we can protect Lake Superior and the Northwoods for generations.
Thanks for being a conservation voter,
