Ben Brist for Assembly District 61
Keep energy costs low: Electric bills are skyrocketing for Wisconsinites. We can keep our electric bills low by building more clean energy like wind and solar, which are cleaner, cheaper, and faster to build. Ben Brist will stand up to greedy corporate electric utilities who want to maximize profit and jack up your electric bills by building more dirty, expensive gas power plants.
Ensure clean drinking water for all: You should be able to trust the water that comes out of your tap. But thousands of Wisconsinites deal with lead pipes, nitrate contamination from factory farm pollution, or toxic cancer-causing forever chemicals like PFAS in their drinking water. Ben Brist will hold corporate polluters accountable so they pay for their actions, and will ensure that no matter where you live, every Wisconsinite has access to clean, safe drinking water.
Re-authorize the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program: Enjoying the outdoors is a way of life in Wisconsin. For nearly 40 years, the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program supported buying and maintaining public lands for all to enjoy. It’s funded more than 1,500 more projects in every corner of the state. Despite its success and popularity, the Republican-controlled legislature let the program die this year. Ben Brist will revive this program and make sure our public lands have the resources needed so Wisconsinites can continue to enjoy them for generations to come.

Regulate data centers: Ben Brist will stand up to big tech and put regulations in place to protect Wisconsin communities and our environment from the impacts of data centers. He’ll require that data centers pay their full share in energy and water costs so Wisconsinites' utility bills aren’t subsidizing billion and trillion dollar corporations. He will require transparency and ban non-disclosure agreements that hide the impacts on local communities. He’ll make sure they’re powered by 100% cheap, fast, clean energy sources like wind and solar. We can trust Ben Brist to stand up to greedy big tech, electric utilities, and data center developers to protect local Wisconsin communities.
Trevor Jung for Senate District 21
Trevor Jung knows what it’s like to live the American Dream. But for too long, the Republican controlled legislature has had the wrong priorities, leaving behind the people of southeast Wisconsin and making it harder to live their own American Dream. That’s why he’s running for state senate to be your voice in Madison.
Trevor was born in an orphanage in Russia and adopted by his loving father at the age of two. Growing up in Racine, he experienced just how much the community had to offer. From public schools, to the beauty of Lake Michigan, to the hardworking people, he knows it's a special place. After graduating from UW-Milwaukee, he moved home and became the youngest elected alderperson in Racine since the Civil War. Now, as Racine’s public transit director, he leads a team of public servants and manages a $10 million-plus budget to provide sustainable, efficient transportation to the people of Racine.
Vote David Crowley for Governor
Growing up, David Crowley didn’t have it easy. He experienced firsthand many of the same struggles Wisconsinites across the state face today. He knows what it’s like to work hard yet still have difficulty keeping up with the rising costs of housing, groceries, health care, and utility bills.
Those experiences shaped his approach to leadership. He started as a community organizer before being elected to the state Assembly to serve his community. At 33, he was elected county executive of Wisconsin’s largest county. Now in his second term as Milwaukee County executive, he continues to deliver real results for the people he represents. As a husband and father of three, he knows times are tough for so many. He’s running for governor so all Wisconsin families have what they need to not only survive, but to thrive.
As governor, David Crowley will:

Regulate data centers to stand up to Big Tech, make them pay their full share of energy and water costs, and guarantee transparency regarding their impact our environment and communities.
Lower energy bills by standing up to utilities’ continuous rate hikes and transitioning to cleaner, cheaper energy sources.
