Company Profile

Company Overview

Wisconsin Progress was founded in 2009 by a group of progressive allies to be a Wisconsin based candidate recruitment and training organization. The goal was to have a group that enforced a progressive baseline for our legislative candidates and to elect leaders that would champion our most important issues - protecting our natural resources, promoting our middle class, funding public education, and being a voice for marginalized populations. In the last five years, we have grown exponentially. We have expanded from a staff of two to a staff of five. We have an office in Milwaukee to supplement our office in Madison, and for the first time, we have staff specifically designated to work on local elections, giving us the resources to proactively recruit candidates for dozens of targeted local school boards, county boards, city councils, and town and village boards.
