ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?
On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.

ENDORSEMENT: I am honored to be supported by Ald. JoCasta Zamarripa (@votejocastawi). She previously represented this district in the State Assembly and cares deeply about our community. Thank you for believing in my leadership, Ald. Zamarripa. In her own words: “Ismael is running to represent the district I once had the honor of serving in the Wisconsin State Legislature. I know this district. I know its people, its culture, its history, and what it needs from its representative in Madison. And I know that Ismael Luna is the right person for this moment. As the first Latina to serve in the Wisconsin Legislature, I can tell you firsthand how important it is for this seat to be held by someone who genuinely reflects the values and lived experience of this community. District 8 is a supermajority Latino district with a rich immigrant heritage and a proud Hispanic culture. From Mitchell Street to Walker’s Point, our city’s beloved gayborhood, this district is one of Milwaukee’s most vibrant and diverse, and it deserves a representative who knows it and loves it the way we do. Ismael Luna grew up right here on the South Side. He is not running for a title or a career. He is running because he has lived the struggles of the people he wants to represent, and he believes this community deserves a voice in Madison that actually fights for it. To know that this seat could again be led by an out LGBTQ+ Latino who is deeply rooted in this community and ready to fight for it is something we cannot take for granted. This is a chance we cannot let pass us by! Please join me in supporting Ismael Luna for State Assembly District 8.” Let’s make it happen together! #VoteLuna #VoteMKE
