We know the full slate of candidates who are on the ballot for the Aug. 14 primary election. The final two in each race will compete Nov. 6.
Engagement: Engaging candidates is crucial during campaign season. They will be out and about, which presents you with the opportunity to make sure they understand what issues are important to dairy. Please let us know about the conversations you have over the summer. Besides conversing with candidates at events, DBA sends out legislative surveys during the summer. The surveys include policy briefs on our issues and then an opportunity for the candidates to explain their views.
Endorsements: Based on candidates’ legislative records, stances on particular issues, and information gathered during campaign season from conversations and surveys, DBA endorses candidates who are committed to keeping America’s Dairyland strong. Watch for endorsements in the coming months.
Fundraisers: Fundraising is a key component of a candidate’s campaign season. Candidates build their supporter network and then reach more constituents through advertisements. If members choose to give to candidates, we hope they contribute to our endorsed candidates or through our collective channels. Contact us if you wish to know more. Over the summer, DBA will be supporting a few fundraising events for our candidates, so watch for future details.
