Main Street Agenda

In 2024, we are partnering with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to host events fostering civic dialogue and share insights on how Wisconsin residents feel about important policy topics.

About this project

Our goal for this project is raising awareness about issues Wisconsin residents are concerned about in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. Each month, we analyze different policy topics highlighted by a statewide survey and share the findings in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and on our website. This fall, we are also hosting in-person community conversations around the state that will give people additional opportunities to share their views on the issues that matter to them.

Community Conversations events

Talking about the issues that impact your community can be hard. It doesn’t have to be. Join us for thoughtful conversations around the issues that matter to Wisconsinites.

2022

In fall 2022, we co-hosted four public forums across the state to discuss the issues that were most important to voters leading up to the 2022 midterm elections. A state-wide survey informed the focus of the events.
