Thank You Clean Water Action Voters!

The votes have been counted and the races have been called, solidifying the future of Michigan’s legislature for the next two years - and Clean Water Voters spoke out, loud and clear!

As a Clean Water Action member or supporter, we know you care about our water and climate. That’s why we vet and endorse candidates for office that reflect your values and priorities.

One of our most important responsibilities is to recommend candidates for office that our members and other Michiganders who prioritize protecting clean water can support on Election Day. It isn't easy to earn our endorsement: candidates must have a strong record of fighting for environmental issues, ready to be a leader in office, and run a strong grassroots campaign. .

Once an endorsement is earned, our staff and volunteers - and in particular, our year round field and phone canvass team - work across the state to get out the Clean Water Voter vote.

And this year, we definitely did.

90% of our 41 endorsed candidates for the 2022 Michigan midterm election won, and 100% of our endorsed ballot proposals passed!

Thank you to all Clean Water Voters who made their voice heard at the ballot box! We look forward to hitting the ground running to make meaningful change for our Michigan environment and communities in the 2023 legislative session - and working with our newly elected lawmakers to achieve real victories and a brighter future.

Congratulations to our 2022 Clean Water Voter Endorsed Election Winners!
