Gov. Tony Evers is Wisconsin’s most important climate champion

Hi John,

We did the math in our Conservation Scorecard and Gov. Tony Evers received a 100 percent score for his leadership on clean water, clean energy, and democracy issues!

The GOP-controlled legislature could have done a lot of damage this past legislative session if Gov. Evers hadn't used his executive orders and his veto power.

Using the veto, stopping the bad

Gov. Evers used his veto power to stop relentless attacks on the environment and our democracy. 

He protected our freedom to vote by vetoing every anti-voter bill that made it to his desk. His vetoes prevented the partisan takeover of our elections, protected our freedom of speech, protected access to the ballot, and prevented polling place intimidation tactics.

Gov. Evers also used his veto to fight big polluters and protect Wisconsin’s water, land, and wildlife. He stopped developers from privatizing our Great Lakes shorelines and he protected our deer and trout populations by defending science-led ecosystem management.

Using executive orders for good

Gov. Evers did more than play defense. He used his executive power to advance clean energy and clean water issues, protect the freedom to vote, and tackle racial inequity.

A proven leader on PFAS protections, he championed the first-ever statewide PFAS rules and continues to distribute funding to communities for testing. 

Additionally, he made history with the creation of the state’s first Clean Energy Plan, which puts Wisconsin on a path to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. In the same week, he used his executive order to create the Office of Environmental Justice – a vital step toward addressing the generations of environmental harm done to Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color.

Community leaders, stakeholders, and clean energy activists tour Madison's new LEED Gold certified Fleet Services Building with Gov. Tony Evers.

Gov. Evers has been vital to protecting our environment, health, and democracy in his first term. That’s why we endorsed him – and are working hard to re-elect him this fall.

Can you donate right now to help us re-elect Gov. Tony Evers in November? We'll put your gift to work right away to scale up our organizing program so we can talk to more voters about this important race.

With your help, we can re-elect Gov. Evers, protect his veto, and continue to make progress.

Thank you for your continued support,
