Farm Bureau becomes second statewide agricultural organization to back campaign

NEW FRANKEN, WI — The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation’s political action committee, Volunteers for Agriculture, announced this week that they have endorsed Nic Cravillion in his campaign to represent the citizens of the Wisconsin First Senate District in the upcoming fall elections.

“Wisconsin farmers are facing many challenges, such as workforce shortages and rising costs,” said Cravillion.  “This endorsement reflects our shared understanding of the need for strong leadership to address these challenges and to protect and strengthen our rural family farms.”

Cravillion currently serves as district director for State Senator André Jacque.  A seventh-generation Wisconsinite and 15-year Army combat veteran who served in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, Cravillion is also a small business owner who lives in New Franken with his wife Caitlin and their two children.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is the second major statewide agriculture organization to back Cravillion’s campaign.  Earlier this summer, the Wisconsin Dairy Business Association also endorsed Cravillion.

“I am truly humbled by the support I have received from the agricultural communities of our state,” said Cravillion.  “If elected, I look forward to working with these groups to preserve the future for the next generation of Wisconsin farmers by ensuring our agricultural industries have access to a skilled workforce, that we continue to invest in our rural roads and infrastructure, and that we keep the interests of our farmers at the center of the legislative agenda in Madison.”

The general election will be held Tuesday, November 3rd.  To learn more about Nic Cravillion’s campaign, visit www.NicforWI.com.
