Legislative vote tracker
Wisconsin voters need to know what upcoming legislation means to our communities and our children, and how lawmakers vote on those measures.
We track bills related to education in Wisconsin as they move through the state capitol. We follow both the concerns of our statewide partners and the actions of registered lobbyists in favor of or opposition to key education-related legislation. This tracking tool is designed to help you understand who supports and opposes key legislation and how your elected officials have voted. Do YOUR lawmakers vote in the interests of Wisconsin students and their public schools?
Bookmark our tracker to see what lawmakers are voting on – and how they voted – and raise your voice to make sure they know how education policy proposals would impact local students, teachers, and public schools
