Karen Kirsch

Wisconsin state representative

"I am proud to endorse State Senator Kelda Roys for Governor of Wisconsin because she is a proven progressive leader with the vision and experience our state needs right now. Kelda has consistently stood up for working families, reproductive freedom, fair and accessible elections, and an economy that puts people first. She pairs strong policy knowledge with a clear and confident presence in the media. The new media age has transformed politics by enabling rapid, interactive communication that allows citizens, politicians, and movements to shape public opinion instantly through digital platforms and social media. Kelda is not only superior in understanding this dynamic behind the scenes, she is talented in out in front. This makes her an effective advocate for Wisconsin values. Kelda Roys has the ability to lead, communicate, and build a more just and inclusive future for our state."

Emily Kuhn

Mayor of Middleton

"Kelda is an executive and leader I have admired for a decade. We have talked budgets, housing policy, and the tech sector, both in the Capitol and at playdates with our kids. As working moms, we collaborate to make Wisconsin a great place to raise a family, work, learn, and retire. I'm proud to support her as the strongest candidate for governor in 2026."

Justin Bielinski

Milwaukee County Supervisor

"Wisconsin needs a governor who will support public schools, protect our natural resources, and restore local control to our communities. One who will ensure that every worker is paid a living wage, healthcare is affordable, and the rich finally pay their fair share in taxes. Kelda has been fighting for our freedoms for over two decades, and she will make a fantastic governor."

Patrick Downing

County Board Supervisor, District 30

"Kelda is the strongest choice for governor because she has spent so much time traveling around the state and building connections with rural communities. We need a governor who brings us together and will help protect Wisconsin from the harm that Trump is doing to our farmers, our communities, and our state."

Shorewood Hills Village Trustee

"I'm supporting Kelda Roys for governor because she's not just right on the issues, she's ahead of the curve. While others are still figuring out what's happening, Kelda is already taking bold and decisive action. Whether it's protecting reproductive rights, fighting for climate justice, or defending democracy, she doesn't wait for permission to do the right thing -- she leads. Her ability to anticipate challenges and move quickly set her apart as the kind of governor Wisconsin needs right now."

Brian Benford

Former Madison Common Council Member/alder

"Wisconsin has amazing people, natural spaces, and cultures, regrettably-we are also a state that ranks near the top for insidious racial disparities. With Kelda's decades of service and commitment to all reaching their full potential regardless of their backgrounds, I have no doubt that Kelda is the choice for Wisconsin's next Governor."
