Clinton, WI: Proven conservative Ellen Schutt continues to build momentum in her campaign for State Senate, having earned the endorsement of the Wisconsin Young Republicans (WIYR), one of Wisconsin’s most active conservative grassroots organizations.
WIYR’s endorsement recognizes Schutt’s record of conservative leadership and her work engaging young conservatives across the state, as the organization looks to elect principled Republicans up and down the ballot in November.
“I’m honored to have the support of the Wisconsin Young Republicans,” Schutt said. “This campaign has always been about serving the people I grew up with, work alongside, and represent. Earning the trust of young conservatives who are knocking doors, organizing their communities, and building the future of our party means the world to me, and it’s a reminder of why I’m running: to fight for the next generation of Wisconsin families.”
WIYR joins Turning Point Action and Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin (AFP-WI) – two of the state’s largest grassroots conservative organizations – in backing Schutt’s candidacy, marking the third major grassroots endorsement of her campaign in recent weeks. AFP-WI named Schutt to its first round of 2026 legislative endorsements, while Turning Point Action, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, has likewise thrown its support behind her bid for the 11th Senate District.
Schutt’s growing coalition reflects a grassroots movement built through years of consistent conservative effort built by showing up, putting in the work, and delivering results. During her time in the State Assembly, Schutt routinely demonstrated her willingness to fight the Madison establishment to do what’s right for Wisconsin families.
