Wisconsin Greens seek 2022 candidates
The Wisconsin Green Party is currently seeking candidates for 2022 elections.
Recent polls show over 60% of US voters believe the Democratic and Republican parties are doing such a terrible job that a new major party is needed.
The time is right to build a party for the people - but we need candidates to make it happen.
If you'd consider running for office, let us know and we'll get in touch to discuss the possibilities!

Four Lakes Greens: Take action against expanding mass incarceration in Dane County!
From the Four Lakes Green Party:
The Dane County Board is voting tonight on a resolution that would massively expand spending on the already-bloated Dane County Jail expansion project - a huge investment in mass incarceration that belies county officials' talk about seeking meaningful alternatives to mass incarceration.
Please read the below message from our friends in the Decarcerate Dane coalition, and take action against expanding mass incarceration in our community before 6:25pm tonight!
$24 million more for an already-too-expensive jail is back on the council agenda this week. Join us in saying CARE, NOT CAGES!

Wisconsin Green Party supports regulating PFAS, calls to eradicate toxic water pollution
The Wisconsin Green Party supports regulations to limit the amount of cancer-causing PFAS chemicals in our water. These so-called “forever chemicals” are clearly linked to life-threatening diseases, and even tiny trace amounts can cause deadly harm to human and animal health.
We call on all Wisconsinites to submit public comments to the Department of Natural Resources by the deadline of Tuesday, January 11th, supporting the strictest possible rules to reduce the amount of PFAS in our water as close as possible to zero.
Please submit a comment to the DNR today.
You can see the full text of the proposed rule here.

Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in the shooting deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, now 28.
The verdict “is a clear message for political vigilantes to go intimidate and instigate, trying to get a reaction and try to kill in the name of self-defense,” Kingfisher said.
