What's At Stake on November 6th:
Our state legislators make decisions that impact whether we have access health care. This November, there’s a lot at stake. We need a legislature with a vision to make sure all Wisconsinites are able to get the health care we need. Who we elect to our state Assembly and state Senate create laws that will have a measurable effect on Wisconsinites.
This is why Wisconsinites must elect representatives who prioritize health care on November 6th.
We need lawmakers who trust women to make their own health care decisions, will protect health care coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, and will work restore funding to Planned Parenthood.
