Third Act - Let's Go

 From From Third Act

We Have Our Candidates- Let's Get Busy!

Our Democracy Team congratulates David Crowley and all of his supporters, after their narrow win in this week’s gubernatorial primary. We also truly appreciate those candidates who came up short (Francesca Hong, Kelda Roys, Joel Brennan), as responses to our Governor Candidate Survey showed all of them strongly supporting transition to clean energy, expanded voting access, and election integrity. 

By way of contrast, Tom Tiffany’s record and recent statements show him strongly opposed to our Third Act principles and priorities. On every issue we are tracking, a Tiffany victory in November would be a disaster. (For a quick list of specifics, see ““Don’t Be Fooled” from our friends at Grassroots North Shore.)  

Now that we know who will be running in the November election, you can expect to hear from our team soon, with a slate of Third Act-endorsed Wisconsin candidates for Governor, State Legislature, and U.S. Congress. Our special focus will be on key legislative races, with hopes for majorities in the WI Senate and Assembly that will be able to advance clean energy, protect against hyper-scale data centers, strengthen election integrity, and lots more.  

Over the next 2 ½ months, there will be many possible ways for each person reading this to help! Writing postcards or editorials, handing out literature at events, making campaign donations, knocking on doors, phone-banking—it’s going to be a busy fall!
