2024 is a generational opportunity for progressives to change the State Legislature in Wisconsin. Following new legislative maps, there will be more Democrats elected this November.

The key question is how many progressive Democrats will win their elections.

Citizen Action members can play a huge role in both. We need you to succeed in November!

Like all previously endorsed candidates, all of these endorsed candidates completed a Citizen Action 2024 candidate questionnaire, were interviewed by Citizen Action members from the regional organizing cooperative, and recommended for endorsement to our Board. All endorsements are then voted on and approved by the statewide Citizen Action of Wisconsin Board.

There will be more State Legislative candidate endorsements announced in September.

Please contact the organizer listed for each candidate to get active talking to voters in support of our endorsed candidates.

Amendment Question: “Eligibility to vote. Shall section 1 of article III of the constitution, which deals with suffrage, be amended to provide that only a United States citizen age 18 or older who resides in an election district may vote in an election for national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum?”

This amendment is an attack on our freedom to vote. Changing the wording from “every” citizen to “only” citizens is a way for lawmakers to further restrict our freedom to vote. Wisconsin already has safe and secure elections and safeguards in place to ensure only eligible voters are voting. This amendment uses fear as a tactic to further divide us. No matter where we were born or what language we speak, all eligible Wisconsin voters are afforded the right to cast a ballot and make their voice heard. This anti-voter amendment would change the language of our state’s constitution. It could open the door to discriminatory practices, disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of eligible voters.

This is another example of the gerrymandered legislature trying to pick their voters. It’s a last-minute power-grab before voters choose a new legislature using the new fair maps this November.

This constitutional amendment aims to divide us and pit us against our neighbors. Wisconsinites know we are better when we stand together. Let’s say no to the lies and vote this amendment down.

Learn more on why a NO vote is best from the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.
