We did it!

As you know there are tremendous victories to report up and down the ballot.

Time to get right to work to ensure that President-elect Barack Obama and the incoming members of the new Congress tackle the pressing environmental issues facing our state and the nation.

But first, here's an opportunity to congratulate the candidates who won and applaud their commitment to the environment.

Wisconsin Environment, as part of Environment America, endorsed 29 candidates for Congress and Sen. Barack Obama for president. We're excited to announce that, so far, 25 environmental champions were victorious on Election Day -- including Rep. Steve Kagen -- giving us an enormous head start on our agenda for 2009. (The other four races are still too close to call.)

Join us in sending them a note of congratulations for their Election Day victory and to applaud their environmental leadership.
