20 LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS ENDORSE MANSKI FOR WISCONSIN
MADISON – Today, nine current school board, county board, and city council members were joined by eleven others who have served to make public their support for the election of Ben Manski to the Wisconsin State Assembly. "I am both excited and humbled by this show of support from principled public servants," said Manski. "They are leading the progressive movement by example; this is just the beginning."
Speaking for the sentiments of many, County Supervisor Al Matano, who represents part of the 77th District, made his endorsement of Manski known after Hulsey worked to block a public discussion of primate research at the UW-Madison, saying that, “I have worked with Ben Manski on environmental issues for many years. He's always been on the right side of the issues that I've worked on as a Supervisor. I'm supporting Ben for the Assembly because he is the best choice to protect our environment. His long record as an advocate and an activist ensure that he can be trusted to fight for what is right.”
Ben Manski has been endorsed by numerous community leaders, as well as by Madison Teachers, Inc., Student Labor Action Coalition, Student Progressive Dane, Progressive Push, Progressive Dane, GreenChange.org, Four Lakes Green Party of Dane County, the Wisconsin Green Party, and additional public figures to be announced in the coming days.
