FALL 2000 ELECTIONS

  • Though Progressive Dane did not run any of its own candidates in the Fall 2000 election cycle, we formally endorsed the Green presidential/vice-presidential candidates Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke and took an active role in supporting the campaign. In particular, ProDane's major contribution to the campaign was running the south-central Wisconsin voter identification canvass, in which volunteers go door-to-door to identify Nader supporters.
