MADISON – Wisconsin Conservation Voters announced its final slate of candidate endorsements today for the 2026 election cycle.

These endorsements build on an historic election season made possible by fair maps, which offer a real path to a pro-democracy, pro-conservation legislative majority come November.

“Wisconsinites are demanding a new wave of leadership,” said Seth Hoffmeister, Deputy Director. “We are demanding a legislature that will protect our environment, regulate data centers, safeguard our drinking water, and defend our freedom to vote – a legislature that actually reflects our values.”

The endorsed candidates in this slate represent key legislative districts across the state:

  • Emily Tseffos, Senate District 19
  • Charly Ray, Senate District 25
  • Dan Bukiewicz, Assembly District 21
  • Dana Glasstein, Assembly District 22
  • Bill Oemichen, Assembly District 50
  • Ben Gruber, Assembly District 51
  • Ben Brist, Assembly District 61
  • Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford, Assembly District 76
  • Brandy Tollefson, Assembly District 88
  • Jeremiah Fredrickson, Assembly District 92

This announcement follows Wisconsin Conservation Voters’ initial slate released in June and second wave of endorsements in July. 

“With fair legislative maps, we have a real path to electing a pro-conservation majority in the legislature,” Hoffmeister said. “To seize this generational opportunity, we need candidates like those in this slate who are ready to lead on day one and deliver a cleaner, safer, more affordable Wisconsin.”

The full list of endorsed candidates is available on the Wisconsin Conservation Voters website.
