2020 isn't all about November... we have to win our Spring Elections too!
If we want a progressive government that works for ALL Wisconsinites, winning April is the first step. Here’s what’s on the ballot:
- Our 2020 Nominee for President
- Wisconsin Supreme Court seat
- Local elections across the state
These elections are​ crucial.

That’s why on February 8th---60 days from the election---we’re kicking off a HUGE weekend of organizing. ​It’s a Spring Election, which means we have to get folks to turn out and VOTE. These elections will be decided by face-to-face connections and a strong ground game.

Fitchburg Progress needs your help. If you can canvass on February 8 in Fitchburg, please send us an email for more details. [email protected]
