Endorsement: Dairy Business Association

MADISON, Wis. — The Dairy Business Association™, Wisconsin's leading dairy advocacy group, endorsed multiple candidates who are running for State Senate and State Assembly in the upcoming General Election this November. 

DBA chose these candidates based on their legislative excellence and alignment with key priorities, including strengthening rural communities, preserving the integrity of Wisconsin's dairy industry, fostering economic growth and protecting Wisconsin’s water quality. 

“Dairy farmers are the backbone of Wisconsin, which is why it is critical to support candidates who advocate for sound policies and regulations in Madison,” Greg Siegenthaler, DBA board president, said. 

This bipartisan list of candidates was developed based on the actions and priorities of incumbent candidates, along with responses to DBA’s candidate questionnaire, which was sent to all candidates, including both incumbents and challengers. Endorsement selections were made by DBA’s board of directors, which includes dairy farmers and allied business representatives. 

“It’s important to recognize and applaud candidates, regardless of party affiliation, who are actively aware of the significant issues impacting dairy farmers today and who share our same goals,” Siegenthaler said. “We appreciate their efforts and dedication to moving dairy forward and keeping dairy farm families and applied businesses strong.

VFA has endorsed 57 candidates in the State Assembly: 

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation’s political action committee, Volunteers for Agriculture®, has released endorsements for state Assembly and state Senate races ahead of the November 3rd general election.

The Volunteers for Agriculture® Committee is comprised of 18 farmers from across Wisconsin who guide the endorsement process. Decisions are informed by a grassroots process that includes local county Farm Bureau input, candidate interviews, voting records and positions on key agricultural issues. This process gives farmers a direct voice in evaluating and supporting candidates who understand and support farmers and rural Wisconsin. Karen DeSanto is among the endorsed group.

I am pleased to inform you that the Sierra Club has endorsed your candidacy for re-election to the Assembly in appreciation of your demonstrated commitment to protecting the environment.  

Congratulations on being named one of our Sierra Club Environmental Champions! This honor is due to your having voted 100% on our legislative scorecard for the last session. We use the scorecard internally to guide our review of incumbents and will not be releasing it publicly.  

The Sierra Club endorsement means a lot to our members in your district and to the general voting public. Our endorsement sends a message of your strong support for the environment and your proven track record in environmental issues.
