Spring Election Results
In the Wisconsin spring election, Progressive Majority's candidates won 11 of 13 local elections. This proves again that progressive values are winning values! From the cities of Kenosha, Racine and Beloit to Winnebago and Dane counties, progressive candidates won their spring elections.
We're really excited about changing not one, not two, but three school boards from conservative control to progressive control!
In Kenosha, all three of our school board candidates won and elected a progressive majority on the Kenosha School Board. Carl Bryan, who has been a Progressive Majority Farm Team member since he was a senior in high school, won his election by beating an incumbent. Pam Stevens and Mary Snyder also won there to secure the majority.
In Racine, Kim Plache beat an incumbent to win her election, and Gretchen Warner won her re-election, solidifying a progressive majority on the Racine School Board.
And in Beloit, Tia Johnson also beat an incumbent to give progressives control of the Beloit School Board.
Adding to our school board victories, we protected progressive champions at the county executive level. Kathleen Falk in Dane County and Mark Harris in Winnebago County were both re-elected last night.
