It is time to start thinking about key elections in Wisconsin! The Wisconsin primary election is less than two weeks away on Tuesday, August 13. Primary elections can often be more impactful than general elections.
Now is the time to start planning how you will vote when it comes to congressmen, state senators, state assemblymen, and the state referenda questions. Check your sample ballot HERE to see what candidates and referenda are on your ballot. You can read Wisconsin Family Action’s summary of the statewide referenda questions HERE.
Now that you know when to vote, we’d like to provide two resources as you consider who to vote for.
First, you can dig deeper into a candidate’s background with our iVoterGuide by clicking HERE. iVoterGuide is an online resource aimed at helping faith-based citizens vote wisely in a simple and reliable manner. Wisconsin residents can go to the website, enter their address, and see a voter guide listing candidates that will appear on their specific ballot.
In addition, we assessed every state legislator in Wisconsin based on key votes in the 2023-2024 legislative session. Earning a 100% score is not easy, and we are proud of the state legislators who stood with courage and true commitment to Christian conservative principles. We hope our 2023-2024 Legislative Scorecard will be a valuable tool and resource as you evaluate legislators and their track record and prayerfully exercise your civic duty.
One final reminder is that early voting starts today and runs through August 11. Office hours vary among municipalities, so we encourage you to contact your local elections clerk to verify the office is open for early in-person voting.
Confirm your polling place at myvote.wi.gov, and let’s get to the polls. Please call, text, and email your friends and family to encourage them to vote prayerfully, carefully, and biblically this election and beyond. Thank you for voting for candidates who support our shared values on God’s plan for marriage, family, life, and religious liberty.
P.S. We were dismayed and grieved by the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony and their decision to mock Christianity on the public stage. The Olympics’ response that they are “really, really sorry” if anyone took offense falls flat when considering the forethought, effort, and time that went into planning and executing the disgraceful “Last Supper” display. That Christianity was openly mocked and denigrated was not an accident or merely a byproduct of the LGBT-centric ceremony, it was an intentional and targeted attack. As one California pastor said, our response to this display should be to “redouble our efforts to bring the Gospel to a lost world” – and that is exactly what we will do.
