When the Wisconsin Legislature is in session, WRA lobbies to shape public policy. But when campaign season comes around, WRA works to shape the legislature by supporting candidates we can expect to support our key issues during their term.
WRA’s candidate endorsement process gives all candidates the opportunity to inform us where they stand on key issues that impact our industry and the state’s economy as a whole. WRA meets with, interviews and educates candidates on issues that may be coming up in the Capitol in the near future.
Help pick candidates worthy of WRA’s support.
Share information with WRA about candidates that support our industry and small business. Contact Pete Hanson, WRA VP of Public Affairs at phanson@wirestaurant.org or 800.589.3211.
General Election: Tuesday, November 8th
WRA encourages you to get out and vote for candidates who understand and support small businesses. This is a preliminary list of candidates for whom the WRA Board of Directors has found a compelling reason to make an endorsement in the primary election. The Board will likely add more candidates to this list as the primary elections draws closer. In the Fall, this list will be replaced by a list of endorsed candidates for the general elections.
