It Begins Here: 24 Conservative Victories in Wisconsin

Something big happened in Wisconsin yesterday. Twenty four American Majority-trained conservative candidates advanced out of their primaries to the general election in April. That makes more than 250 candidates trained by our American Majority Wisconsin staff since opening our Mequon office in October 2010.

Advancers in Tuesday’s election include 10 school board candidates, 12 candidates for town board or city council, one county board candidate in a special election, and a circuit court judge. Our Wisconsin staff has focused on building leaders from the level of government where citizens often feel the most impact: local. These local candidates are also the folks who will hopefully take the next step for public office when a member of the State Assembly or State Senate retire or need a challenge.

Right Wisconsin featured our Wisconsin success today, saying: “For years, progressives have had a distinct edge in candidate training and campaign organizing. With organizations like American Majority, conservatives can level the playing field at the local level.”

I’m proud of our Wisconsin team and I’m proud of each candidate, some of whom signed our New Leaders Project Pledge, stepping forward to serve their communities for the first time as elected officials. They have pledged to uphold free enterprise, limited government, and fiscal responsibility. They are on their way to greatly impacting their communities — one school board, one circuit court at a time. And that’s how real change happens.
