PROGRESSIVE PUSH: Manski is THE genuine progressive

MADISON – A national organization dedicated to electing genuine progressives, announced today that they have endorsed Ben Manski for Wisconsin's 77th Assembly District. Progressive Push is recommending Manski to its supporters. In a statement issued today, Luis A. Cuevas, Progressive Push National Director, said:

"Progressive Push proudly endorses Ben Manski for Wisconsin's 77th District Assembly. Ben Manski is an outstanding candidate, the kind most needed to represent working families and progressive ideals in Wisconsin as well as our nation. We have very high standards, and don't make endorsements in many races, but Manski's record of proven activism speaks for itself. Ben Manski grew up in the 77th district where his progressive values were formed, the same ones that drove him to be an environmental campaigner with Greenpeace and Clean Wisconsin, as well as a labor organizer and advocate of democratic reforms. He has lived his life as a progressive, absorbing his beliefs from that part of Madison best known for housing the most progressive wing of the Progressive Party in the early 20th century.

An attorney, Ben Manski has an enviable resume as founder of Liberty Tree Foundation, political activist, organizer and leader. He is one of those rare individuals whose talents and life work have been tenaciously dedicated to improving the human condition. Ben Manski is not seeking a political job, or merely working to replace an unresponsive politician. His goal is to empower the people of his district to take control of their lives, through participatory democracy, getting them involved in budgeting decisions, creating a better sustainable community where they can be sure that their children will inherit a better place to live. We urge all progressives to support Ben Manski, relentless, undaunted, and resilient, he is the candidate who best represents your values, we know he represents ours."
