A Better Wisconsin Together Applauds Voters’ Rejection of MAGA Constitutional Amendments

MADISON, Wis. — In today’s statewide primary election, Wisconsin voters turned out across the Badger State to make their voices heard on important issues that will impact the well-being of our families and local communities.

Notably, Wisconsin voters overwhelmingly rejected two referendums put on our ballots as a power grab by MAGA Republicans. In response, the following are statements from A Better Wisconsin Together Communications Director Lucy Ripp:

“Wisconsinites know that it is critical for our state government to act quickly in emergency situations, and it is clear from these election results that the majority of voters value our government providing support for us to succeed in safe and healthy communities. 

“The resounding ‘No’ vote on these ballot questions also stands as strong rejection of the misplaced priorities, dysfunction, and petty partisan politics that have long plagued the GOP majority in our state legislature. These results are proof that Wisconsinites will not be fooled by Republican lawmakers trying to mislead us into giving them even more power over the well-being of our families and communities.

“Today, Wisconsin voters decided that our neighborhoods shouldn’t have to rely on our politically gridlocked, Republican controlled legislature to release essential funds when we need action fast.”
