Democracy. We need to work within the system not around it.

Chair Paul Hambleton shares the importance of running for office for local non-partisan positions.

On July 31, 2023, the City of New Richmond notified residents that the application for the rezoning of property by Nature Energy for the purpose of a manure digester had been withdrawn.

Kim Dupre, a local water advocate, shares her story. It begins on her rural farm in Emerald, WI.

A local resident raises questions about the city’s process with the manure digester.

On July 5, Governor Evers used the incredible power of the Wisconsin governor’s veto pen to restore funding for public schools (for 400 years!), eliminate a huge tax cut for the wealthy, delete Republican language in the budget that would have eliminated essential positions within the University of Wisconsin system, and many other partial vetoes important to everyday Wisconsin citizens.

I’m sure you all know by now that Judge Janet Protasiewicz came out on top of the February 21 primary for the Supreme Court, exceeding almost every expectation. Right here in St.Croix County, the combined votes for the two progressive candidates won almost 51% of the vote compared to the conservative candidates with 49%. That’s the first time St. Croix County has gone blue since the 1990s.

How do we win elections? We do it one vote at a time! Not everyone pays attention to politics like some of us, especially in non-presidential elections like the Supreme Court race just ahead with a primary on February 21 followed by the general election on April 4.
