Below, you’ll find our Waukesha County recommendations for the April 7, 2026, election. These are recommendations based on community input and research, not endorsements. An endorsement typically involves formal organizational support. A recommendation means that if we lived in that community, this is whom we would vote for. Every vote matters, and we don't want you to sit this one out!
This list was created using feedback from community members, Blue Sky members, and our own in-depth research. We reviewed candidate websites, Facebook pages, public statements, records, and policy positions (if they had any). We evaluated candidates based on their experience, transparency, track record, responsiveness, and overall preparedness to serve. Not every recommended candidate aligns with our values 100%. In nonpartisan elections in Waukesha County, there are not always progressive candidates to choose from. Our focus was simple: who is best positioned to competently and responsibly serve at this time, in this office.
To the candidates: thank you for running. Public service takes courage and commitment. We will not be removing your name from this guide at your request. When you run for office, you are seeking to serve the public, and voters deserve access to information that helps them make informed decisions. We do have the discretion to update this voter guide if more information about your candidacy is made known to our organization.
If this guide is helpful, please share it. Download the PDF, send the link to friends, post it on social media, and help spread the word. Local elections are often decided by small margins! Thank you for being a voter.
