Claire Westlund
Claire graduated from UW- Green Bay with a double major in philosophy and democracy and justice studies with an emphasis in legal studies. Growing up on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, environmental sustainability and preservation has always been an interest of hers. She is excited that the opportunity to work with Wisconsin Conservation Voters will allow her to expand on the knowledge of the environmental legislation that is being implemented here in Wisconsin in addition to spreading awareness of current sustainability and conservation efforts.
I am a conservation voter because the future quality of our environment is determined by those who take a stand in supporting current pro-conservation legislation. Being home to arguably the most beautiful national lakeshores and scenic trails, Wisconsin can be an example to promote conservation efforts for clean air and water protection. I believe it is our duty as Wisconsinites to ensure the protection of our beloved Great Lakes and to provide a healthy, prosperous environment for our neighbors and future generations.
