Grassroots North Shore enthusiastically endorses Jodi Habush Sinykin in her bid for Wisconsin State Senate District 8.

As an environmental attorney and policy expert, Jodi built coalitions focused on achieving long-term results. She was instrumental in the adoption and implementation of the Great Lakes Compact, a far-reaching law that ensure protection of the Great Lakes. Jodi initiated and shepherded the passage of the Wisconsin Puppy Mill bill, which ended the inhumane conditions of puppy mills around the state.

Jodi will fight to protect:

• Reproductive health care and women’s rights. In Madison, she will fight to repeal Wisconsin’s archaic 1849 abortion ban and expand health care access to all Wisconsinites.
  
  
• Democracy from the kinds of physical and ideological attacks witnessed after the 2020 election.
  
  
• Voting rights and equitable, efficient access to the ballot.
  
  
• Our precious environment and expand access to our state’s natural places while holding polluters and those seeking to take advantage of our resources accountable.
  
  
• Public safety in the district and across Wisconsin. She will work to direct needed funding and resources to appropriate agencies so they can keep our communities safe.
  
  
• Business owners’ needs, producing legislation that will create an economic environment in Wisconsin that keeps talent here, and provides fair deals to workers across the state.

Jodi reflects the values of Grassroots North Shore and will work to fulfill the needs of the people of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Work Requirement for Welfare Benefits Advisory Question

Question 3, the state-wide advisory question, would ask voters if able-bodied childless adults should be required to look for work in order to receive welfare benefits. The question is not legally binding and would not enact a work requirement law for welfare benefits. Currently, state law requires able-bodied individuals without dependents to look for work in order to receive unemployment insurance. There is also a work requirement for Wisconsin's food stamp program, Wisconsin Foodshare, but the requirement has been waived since October 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
